I suspect that servers trying to deliver messages to your server insist on delivering them using TLS, which you have now disabled. Perhaps the only host to be excempted from delivering via TLS should be the one of your hosting provider. But then, I'd rather have all servers using TLS rather than sending them unencrypted anyway. -- ## 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/
