Bug#348046: exim4-daemon-heavy: TLS delivery attempts fail with: (gnutls_handshake): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

[Martin A. Brooks]

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.60-1
Severity: important

Hi

A newly install exim4 server produces the following error during any TLS
connection:

2006-01-14 11:57:13 TLS error on connection from (parken) [195.1.19.x]
(gnutls_handshake): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
2006-01-14 11:57:13 TLS error on connection from (parken) [195.1.19.x]
(gnutls_handshake): A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

Disabling TLS delivery attempts by adding "hosts_avoid_tls = *" to the
remote_smtp driver alleviates the problem, but obviously disables TLS
entirely.

Regards

Martin A. Brooks
