Trouble with exim-tls

[John Schofield <schof@jpreng.com>]

I've been having a lot of trouble with exim-tls, and I'd love some 
perspective from you folks.

First off, I'm trying to get secure POP, secure IMAP, and secure SMTP 
set up on a Woody box.  I'm trying to avoid any solution that requires 
updating by hand -- I want to continue to use apt-get update.  (I'll 
eventually be adding Squirrelmail and some virus and spam blocking, but 
that's V2.)

The easiest path I've found seems to be installing exim-tls.  It 
installs correctly, but I can't seem to connect to it from my mail 
reader.  It's possible I'm using the wrong settings on the client side. 
 The error I get is "Failed to connect via ssl" which isn't very 
informative from the client.  I've looked through the log files using 
webmin; I haven't found any login failure or ssl failure messages to 
shed any light.  Obviously I'm not looking in the right places; any 
suggestions?


Thanks very much!
