Close connection in response to STARTTLS

---*If you get the following error (tail -F /var/log/messages)---*:-

.----------------------++++++++++++------------------.

T=remote_smtp defer (-18): Remote host mail.domain.com [111.111.111.111] closed connection in response to STARTTLS
2007-10-01 17:15:28 Start queue run: pid=13647
2007-10-01 17:15:28 1IcMzG-0003XG-1f == test@domain.com R=dnslookup

.-----------------------++++++++++++------------------.


Then you can fix this issue by editing your /etc/exim.conf, and changing the following code:-

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp

To be:-

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  hosts_avoid_tls=*         (This line should be present if not then add the line.)

Save, exit, then restart exim.

If the issue is for incoming email, you can comment out this section of your exim.conf:

tls_advertise_hosts = *
