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

[Simon Josefsson]

Thanks for prompt feedback, Andrew!

My reading from this is that we can close the IM related part of this
bug report.

There is clearly still some problem between IM and Exim, but that could
be the topic for another report?  It would be interesting if you could
identify whether it is related to exim (i.e., does it happen with
sendmail too?)  or gnutls (i.e., does it happen if exim4 is linked with
openssl?).

Anyway, to reduce the complexity of this bug report, I think it would be
very good, if you still wish to debug this, to report the problem anew,
for the component you think is causing the problem.  It might even be a
IM bug..

Thanks,
/Simon
