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).
Resolving 'smtp.jaist.ac.jp'...

But interestingly the mail was properly delivered, so no problem on 
this side.

The only hickup was that at then end

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?


Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
