Historical note: prior to release 4.80, Exim defaulted this value to
"+dont_insert_empty_fragments", which may still be needed for compatibility
with some clients, but which lowers security by increasing exposure to
some now infamous attacks.
-An example:
+Examples:
.code
# Make both old MS and old Eudora happy:
openssl_options = -all +microsoft_big_sslv3_buffer \
+dont_insert_empty_fragments
+
+# Disable older protocol versions:
+openssl_options = +no_sslv2 +no_sslv3

For earlier versions of GnuTLS
the option must be set to the name of a single file.
+With OpenSSL the certificates specified
+explicitly
+either by file or directory
+are added to those given by the system default location.
+
These certificates should be for the certificate authorities trusted, rather
than the public cert of individual clients. With both OpenSSL and GnuTLS, if
the value is a file then the certificates are sent by Exim as a server to
connecting clients, defining the list of accepted certificate authorities.
Thus the values defined should be considered public data. To avoid this,
