Thus we check if the the value returned is at least 10 more than the minimum
we'll accept as a client (EXIM_CLIENT_DH_MIN_BITS, see below, defaults to
-512) and if it is, we subtract 10. Then we reluctantly deploy a strategy
+1024) and if it is, we subtract 10. Then we reluctantly deploy a strategy
called "hope". This is not guaranteed to be successful; in the first code
pass on this logic, we subtracted 3, asked for 2233 bits and got 2240 in the
first test.
A TLS client does not get to choose the DH prime used, but can choose a
minimum acceptable value. For Exim, this is a compile-time constant called
-"EXIM_CLIENT_DH_MIN_BITS" of 512, which can be overruled in "Local/Makefile".
-(It should be higher, but some real-world sites are using dangerously small
-values. Although some might argue that our old size of 1024 was dangerously
-low; "opinions vary". This is expected to be a configure file option for
-the Exim 4.81 release.)
