+# Exim is built by default to support the SMTP STARTTLS command, which implements
+# Transport Layer Security using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This requires you
+# must install the OpenSSL library package or the GnuTLS library. Exim contains
+# no cryptographic code of its own.
+
+# If you are running Exim as a (TLS) server, just building it with TLS support
+# is all you need to do, as tls_advertise_hosts is set to '*' by
+# default. But you are advised to create a suiteable certificate, and tell
+# Exim about it by means of the tls_certificate and tls_privatekey run
+# time options, otherwise Exim will create a self signed certificate on
+# the fly. If you are running Exim only as a (TLS) client, building it with
+# TLS support is all you need to do.
+#
+# If you are using pkg-config then you should not need to worry where
+# the libraries and headers are installed, as the pkg-config .pc
+# specification should include all -L/-I information necessary.
+# Enabling the USE_*_PC options should be sufficient. If not using
+# pkg-config, then you have to specify the libraries, and you might
+# need to specify the locations too.
+
+# Uncomment the following lines if you want
+# to build Exim without any TLS support (either OpenSSL or GnuTLS):
+# DISABLE_TLS=yes
+# Unless you do this, you must define one of USE_OPENSSL or USE_GNUTLS
+# below.
+
+# If you are building with TLS, the library configuration must be done:
+
+# Uncomment this if you are using OpenSSL
+# USE_OPENSSL=yes
+# Uncomment one of these settings if you are using OpenSSL; pkg-config vs not
+# and an optional location.
+# USE_OPENSSL_PC=openssl
+# TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto
+# TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
+
+# Uncomment this if you are using GnuTLS
+# USE_GNUTLS=yes
+# Uncomment one of these settings if you are using GnuTLS; pkg-config vs not
+# and an optional location. If you disable SUPPORT_DANE below, you
+# can remove the gnutls-dane references here. Earlier versions of GnuTLS

+# TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/gnu/lib -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt -lgnutls-dane
+
+# If using GnuTLS older than 2.10 and using pkg-config then note that Exim's
+# build process will require libgcrypt-config to exist in your $PATH. A
+# version that old is likely to become unsupported by Exim in 2017.

+
+# Additional libraries and include files are required for both OpenSSL and
+# GnuTLS. The TLS_LIBS settings above assume that the libraries are installed
+# with all your other libraries. If they are in a special directory, you may
+# need something like
