Hi Andreas, thanks for your help.

Ok, after adding the necessary GLobalSign to the accepted CA certificates I can talk to the server via openssl and gnutls-cli on port 465. I could even send an actual email by typing in all the commands including authentication etc using gnutl-cli: > gnutls-cli --priority=NORMAL:%COMPAT:-VERS-TLS1.1:-VERS-TLS1.2 \ > smtp.jaist.ac.jp -p 465 Here is a transcript: $ gnutls-cli --priority=NORMAL:%COMPAT:-VERS-TLS1.1:-VERS-TLS1.2 smtp.jaist.ac.jp -p 465 Processed 7 CA certificate(s).

Now I tried to convince exim to do the same, but without success. According to your remarks I set the foillowing variables in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/000_localmacros DCsmarthost=smtp.jaist.ac.jp::465 gnutls_compat_mode=true gnutls_require_protocols=NORMAL:%COMPAT:-VERS-TLS1.1:-VERS-TLS1.2 called update-exim4.conf and restarted exim. Unfortunately it did not work out, I got: 2012-05-30 08:08:15 [11828] 1SZVOZ-0007rj-8Q SMTP timeout while connected to smtp.jaist.ac.jp [150.65.19.12] after initial connection: Connection timed out 2012-05-30 08:08:15 [11825] 1SZVOZ-0007rj-8Q == prein...@logic.at R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (110): Connection timed out: SMTP timeout while connected to smtp.jaist.ac.jp [150.65.19.12] after initial connection which is at least a step forward ... Any further ideas? ----------------------------- One more thing: I want to complain to the tech staff here: can you tell me what else, besides the fact that TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 are not supported, I can tell them?
