Since MAIN_TLS_ENABLE is in .ifdef clauses, setting MAIN_TLS_ENABLE to false will enable TLS. You need to comment out its definition, so that the macro is not defined at all. Setting it to any value (including "empty", I fear) will enable TLS. The only way to disable TLS is commenting out its definition or removing it. Be aware that Debian's exim doesn't advertise SMTP AUTH over unencrypted connections, so trying to send authenticated mail to an exim that has its TLS disabled will cause authentication to fail (because of other reasons, which might be hidden from your view by the mail client that is desperately trying not to confuse its users). It might be a good idea to use a tool like swaks for debugging which shows you what is actually happening (even when encryption is in use) or to use wireshark or tcpdump (which will only be useful is encryption is not used) to see what's goign on on the wire. > So for me it isn't, I don't think, anything to do with my mail server > settings. Unfortunately, a conclusion based on false assumptions. You didn't change anything in your mail server configuration.
