Public bug reported: Very recently, my (unchanged for years) bionic exim4 flow ( outgoing SMTP -> smtp.canonical.com ) abruptly stopped working, with exim4 log as follows:
SMTP<< 220 smtp-relay-canonical-1.canonical.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) SMTP>> EHLO myhostname SMTP<< 250-smtp-relay-canonical-1.canonical.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 61440000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250-DSN 250-SMTPUTF8 250 CHUNKING SMTP>> STARTTLS SMTP<< 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS SMTP>> EHLO myhostname H=smtp.canonical.com [185.125.188.121] TLS error on connection (recv): Resource temporarily unavailable, try again. SMTP(close)>> H=smtp.canonical.com [185.125.188.121]: Remote host closed connection in response to EHLO myhostname This appears to be a manifestation of this exim4 bug which was fixed in exim4 (4.92): https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2359 See also: https://www.mail-archive.com/exim-users@exim.org/msg53121.html I found and installed a PPA version of exim4 (4.94) for bionic, which did fix the problem for me. I believe that all Ubuntu versions which supply exim4 < 4.92 {Bionic, Xenial, Trusty} are affected by this bug, which leaves exim4 mysteriously broken when the server side happens to move to TLS 1.3. I suggest updating exim4 on the affected Ubuntu versions. ** Affects: exim4 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: exim4 (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971489 Title: exim4 GnuTLS breakage with outgoing TLS 1.3 "Resource temporarily unavailable" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/1971489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
