[SoCoSA/discuss] exim TLS cert problem

[Sean]

Well I found the problem. The wrong cert was specified in my
dovecot.conf file, and I hadn't thought to look there. POPs and IMAPs
seems to be working correctly now.

I really appreciate everyone's help, and I did learn a few useful
tricks from your suggestions. Sorry for the n00b mistake!
