exim4 showing tls_certificate and tls_privatekey not set when configured to send via Gmail via TLS 465
Exim and TLS AUTH not working for some clientsPublishing long domain key records in bind9Exim after Thunderbird update: “Could not negotiate a supported cipher suite”Exim4 panicking, missing /etc/vmail/<domain>/passwd fileFailed SPF for email imported to Gmail because of client IP instead of server's in message when sent through SMTP from one local box to anotherConfigure exim4 to use Microsoft Exchange as smarthosthow to set exim4 sender_helo_name on debianExim Configuration on Ubuntu 16.04, queue_per_connectionExim: send select outgoing mails through different serverMailx: cannot assign requested address using gmail
I have configured exim4 to send e-mails using TLS through smtp.gmail.com::465
, NOT STARTTLS through smtp.gmail.com::587
. I used information provided to me that was pulled from various sources. The complete list of steps I performed can be seen at https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server#configure-gmail-as-mta-with-implicit-tls.
This is for a server at home, behind a router. I don't have a domain name so I created a local server-side certificate using /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/exim-gencert
.
I am able to send e-mails. I assume it is actually encrypted TLS traffic through 465 but I am not sure how to check.
I did a system audit using Lynis and it showed a warning for exim4:
[+] Software: e-mail and messaging
------------------------------------
- Exim status [ RUNNING ]
- Type [ SATELLITE ]
- Certificate not set [ WARNING ]
- Private Key not set [ WARNING ]
I went through Lynis' source and discovered it is checking for these to be set by checking for tls_certificate
and tls_privatekey
in the output of exim -bP transport remote_smtp_smarthost
:
$ sudo exim -bP transport remote_smtp_smarthost | egrep 'tls_certificate|tls_privatekey'
tls_certificate =
tls_privatekey =
I don't know how to remediate/fix this.
Questions:
- Is it possible to verify exim4 is sending mail through encrypted TLS on port 465?
- What do I need to do to fix the WARNING -- basically get the certificate/key set. Keep in mind, this is for a home server without a domain name so I can't get a legit certificate since there is no domain name to verify against.
