tls

I'm trying to get Exim to use STARTTLS to send emails that are just FORWARDS.

I have a server accepting email at example-accepting.com for users. So I want [email protected] to forward all email to [email protected]. If I do this from the command like on example-accepting.com... echo "test" | mail -s "ssl/tls test" [email protected] Success!! Sent via TLS BUT, if I send an email to [email protected] the forward fails, it's NOT being sent via TLS. I've tried both forwarding the email via /etc/aliases and the user .forward file. The email is indeed sent, but NOT via TLS.

Why is it when I run "mail" from the command like it's working like it should, but a .forward is not using TLS?

Thanks
