Exim requests a certificate as part of the setup of the TLS session. The
contents of the certificate are verified by comparing it with a list of
-expected certificates.

The difference between &%tls_verify_hosts%& and &%tls_try_verify_hosts%& is
what happens if the client does not supply a certificate, or if the certificate
does not match any of the certificates in the collection named by
certificate verification to the listed servers. Verification either must
or need not succeed respectively.
+The &%tls_verify_cert_hostnames%& option lists hosts for which additional

The &(smtp)& transport has two OCSP-related options:

DANE-TA usage is effectively declaring a specific CA to be used; this might be a private CA or a public,

A private CA at simplest is just a self-signed certificate (with certain

does require careful arrangement.
With DANE-TA, as implemented in Exim and commonly in other MTAs,
the server TLS handshake must transmit the entire certificate chain from CA to server-certificate.
&%pipelining%&: A field is added to delivery and accept
log lines when the ESMTP PIPELINING extension was used.
The field is a single "L".

On accept lines, where PIPELINING was offered but not used by the client,
the field has a minus appended.
