[Evolution] FC6 (and FC5 updated) Evolution to Exim STARTTLS not supported

[John Austin <ja jaa org uk>]

Hi

I replicate below a message I have sent to fedora-list redhat com

I hope you can help

I have recently installed FC6 and now receive the following message when
sending an email from FC6 evolution to exim running on a FC5 box (maui).

"Error while performing operation."

"Failed to connect to SMTP server 148.197.29.5 in secure mode:
STARTTLS not supported"
################################
I have had no trouble when using FC5 with
rpm -qa|grep -i evolution
evolution-data-server-1.5.92-1.i386
evolution-2.6.0-1.i386
evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.i386
evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.2.i386
##########################################
I have updated exim and openssl on the FC5 exim server(maui)
and the same error is still received
rpm -qa|grep -i exim
exim-doc-4.62-2.fc5
exim-4.62-2.fc5
exim-sa-4.62-2.fc5
exim-mon-4.62-2.fc5

rpm -qa|grep -i openssl
openssl-devel-0.9.8a-5.4
openssl-0.9.8a-5.4
##########################################
I then tried updating evolution on a 2nd FC5 box (calma)and the error
reappears !!!!!!!!

Evolution now fails with the same error as FC6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Error while performing operation."

"Failed to connect to SMTP server 148.197.29.5 in secure mode:
STARTTLS not supported"



Any hints or advice !!!!!!!!??
