thank you for giving me a broad hint. I've never questioned myself if there is a differnet way to solve the problem after I'd created my initial server configuration years ago. I've now solved the problem by simply setting/modifying these two parameters: daemon_smtp_ports = smtp : submission : ssmtp tls_on_connect_ports = ssmtp Cheers Juergen -- Mail: [email protected] GPG Key available -- ## 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/
