Hi,

I have my exim on 25, 465, 587 port and my smtp without ssl working properly but when i will switch on the SSL in client, i have an error on client side:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'xxxx.x', Server: 'xxxx.xx', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I tried to do some smtp test and i have:

root@s1:~# openssl s_client -connect xxxx.xx:465 < /dev/null | grep '^220 '
15859:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:583:

Do you know how to let exim to work with SSL?

I have version 0.9.8 of openssl:

root@s1:~# openssl
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
OpenSSL>

Could you please advice me something?

Thanks.
 
Thanks for link. But it seems that smtps is not working at all. maybe config from directadmin is incorrect. I have error negotiation failed. Only TLS will LOGIN is working.
 
If you used the information in that link, then you used a package of exim which isn't a standard DirectAdmin package. I'm not sure what the differrences are, but there may be some. Perhaps you should ask DirectAdmin Support, bringing their attention to this thread.

My guess (only a guess) is that exim needs to have something special compiled into it, which would require that you start with the exim source provided by DirectAdmin and then add whatever is required, and then compile yourself.
