Package: exim4-daemon-light
Version: 4.60-3
Severity: important

Hello,

few days ago, exim4 stopped working here. The messages are not sent via
SMTP smarthost and are marked frozen instead. Debug log shows some TLS
problems, but I cannot explain where they come from, see below. I
checked the file /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail, it has always a
value larger then 3500.

Eduard.
