Hello again, In absence of progress to have exim apply TLS-on-connect to server port 465 I'm trying non-TLS to port 587 as a simpler first objective. =8~/

SMTP Port: 587". What is the reality? What is the crux of failure? FOOTNOTE In the transcript, eximdebug.txt, the direction of transmission is unclear. A common notation is "c:" indicating client transmission and "s:" indicating server transmission. It would add only 2 or 3 characters per line while removing uncertainty. =8~) Regards, ...
