I gave up trying to fix problems with gnutls and exim under Debian and just started compiling my own debian packages against openssl. It's not as difficult as you might think: apt-get source exim4 cd exim4-4.63 vi debian/rules Find this section and uncomment the relevant line: # If you want to build with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS, uncomment this # OPENSSL:=1 # Please note that building exim4-daemon-heavy with OpenSSL is a GPL # violation. debuild cd ../ ls -l *.deb There you have it. You can "hold" packages in Debian with: echo "packagename hold"|dpkg --set-selections To stop yourself from accidently overwriting your custom deb with a quick apt-get upgrade I also tend to "rm -rf /etc/exim4/*;vi /etc/exim4/exim4.conf" on Debian boxes too but that's an entirely different issue.
