proof expires. The downside is that it requires server support.
If Exim is built with EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and it was built with OpenSSL,
-then it gains one new option: "tls_ocsp_file".
+then it gains a new global option: "tls_ocsp_file".
The file specified therein is expected to be in DER format, and contain
an OCSP proof. Exim will serve it as part of the TLS handshake. This
Exim will check for a valid next update timestamp in the OCSP proof;
if not present, or if the proof has expired, it will be ignored.
+Also, given EXPERIMENTAL_OCSP and OpenSSL, the smtp transport gains
+a "hosts_require_ocsp" option; a host-list for which an OCSP Stapling
+is requested and required for the connection to proceed. The host(s)
+should also be in "hosts_require_tls", and "tls_verify_certificates"
+configured for the transport.

At this point in time, we're gathering feedback on use, to determine if
it's worth adding complexity to the Exim daemon to periodically re-fetch
-OCSP files and somehow handling multiple files. There is no client support
-for OCSP in Exim, this is feature expected to be used by mail clients.
