I was misled into thinking that the older versions of evolution to exim were using TLS when I selected it from within evolution when they must have been falling back to clear text mode? The later version of evolution presumably does not fall back? In any event exim has never been configured to use TLS ! Having set the following in /etc/exim/exim.conf and generating the cert file #ja_hack tls_advertise_hosts = 148.197.29.3/32 tls_certificate = /etc/exim/cert tls_privatekey = /etc/exim/cert all works OK ethereal/wireshark shows the communication between evolution and exim which is now advertising STARTTLS and the exchanges are now encrypted.

If Exim stops advertising TLS after an update then bugzilla.redhat.com would be the most appropriate way to deal with that. -- dwmw2 ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi
Many thanks for the reply
TLS is selected in evolution and exim definitely does support it.
Selecting SSL gives Connection Refused
Selecting No Encryption works OK
1. FC5 evolution works perfectly using TLS to exim
before upgrading from evolution-2.6.0-1.i386 to
2.6.3-1.fc5.5
2. I have also tried the following telnet connection
and exim mentions STARTTLS
###
avon.jaa.org.uk ~ 1000# telnet maui 25
Trying 148.197.29.5...
Connected to maui.jaa.org.uk (148.197.29.5).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 maui.jaa.org.uk ESMTP Exim 4.62 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 09:00:33 +
ehlo avon
250-maui.jaa.org.uk Hello avon [148.197.29.3]
250-SIZE 52428800
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP

QUIT
221 maui.jaa.org.uk closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
avon.jaa.org.uk ~ 1001#
Are there any suitable commands I can enter to test things further using
telnet?
I'm very surprised nobody seems to have seen this.
I have googled quite a lot and asked Fedora and Evolution lists.
However I am certainly not a mailer expert !
Cheers
John

please make sure that you have not set evolution to use TLS
("Edit>Preferences>Mail Accounts>Edit>Security"), if your mail server
does not support it. :-)

hmm, looks like your exclamation mark key is broken.
