OK! Duur, thats what the tls in exim-tls comes from! Ok, so now I get
why nothing is running on 465. I still don't have it working yet,
but I haven't had time to try anything today.
When I do get this working, I'll put together a crude mini-howto thing,
because this is really cool. It blows the minds of windows-types
that I can read my mail over ssl-links via mozilla-mail, which is a
very slick looking client. (but then I don't reply to my mail until
they look the other way, because currently I have to ssh in to use
mutt to reply.)
