I've been trying to set up a new debian based email server for a client and its a horrible nightmare to get both STARTTLS and AUTH working.
Let's just tackle STARTTLS for this message.
When ever I try anything in evolution that attempts a STARTTLS I get this evolution error dialog:
Error while performing operation: Failed to connect to SMTP server mail.cyte.com in secure mode: Input/output error
if I look in /var/log/mail.log I see this...
Sep 28 22:40:42 mail sm-mta[17847]: STARTTLS=server, error: accept failed=-1, SSL_error=1, timedout=0, errno=0
Sep 28 22:40:42 mail sm-mta[17847]: STARTTLS=server: 7847:error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac:s3_pkt.c:424:
Sep 28 22:40:42 mail sm-mta[17847]: h8T5egvu017847: mail [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
So it looks like something is seriously broken with some sort of decryption routine. My other, older debian box didn't have this problem until I did this:
apt-get remove --purge sendmail sasl2-bin rm -rf /etc/mail apt-get install sasl2-bin <edited sasl config and start saslauthd> apt-get install sendmail <configure sendmail and add the two include lines for tls and sasl> remake the .cf files and then restart and sendmail and...
viola! now this machine also can't handle STARTTLS with exactly the same errors being reported.
So I think something is seriously wrong with STARTTLS in the latest sendmail package.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
