Subject: exim4-daemon-heavy: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.
Followup-For: Bug #467137
Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.69-2

Two days ago, the Microsoft Exchange 2003 server could no longer send mails over this smarthost. The Exim log shows:
A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

The issue did not happen before upgrading to 4.69-2.

Configuring Exchange not to use TLS solved the problem, but obviously this is not a good idea.

Entropy is not the problem.
