Package: exim4-daemon-light
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: important

  When I try to connect (email client used is TheBat for Windows) either to the SMTP port with StartTLS, or even to a port from tls_on_connect_ports list with TLS, Exim4 does not accept the message I am going to send and drops the following to /var/log/exim4/mainlog:
2005-07-01 03:48:56 TLS error on connection from (ws-honeyman.pvt) [192.168.0.1] (gnutls_handshake): An error was encountered at the TLS Finished packet calculation.
  The problem is reproducible each time I 
  The host is "honeyman.nnov.ru", the port is 25, and if someone who will investigate this issue would like to see the problem from client side, one may send anything to "honeyman" user on this host.
  The system has been updated to Sarge just yesterday (from some last-year snapshot) so the versions of all other packages (except the kernel) are Sarge's.
