However, that may leave you unable to connect to many hosts. Messages for any host that does not advertise STARTTLS will not be delivered. You may be OK with that, but it's also worth knowing that Exim will, by default, use TLS if it's advertised. However, if the TLS setup doesn't work, then Exim will fall back to unencrypted delivery. You can prevent that fallback by setting tls_tempfail_tryclear to true: if the recipient's MX servers *all* advertise STARTTLS, then you'll get an encrypted delivery (if the TLS is working on one of the hosts) or none at all. -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148 -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
