Hi Marc,

I think you are running into the consequences of a recently exposed
certificate security issue.  The "Logjam" attack is an example of the
threat in action.

I believe that as a result of this issue the industry (notably Google
and Mozilla) have updated software and servers to reject certificates it
doesn't consider secure enough.  For Thunderbird see here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-logjam

The problem is explained more fully here: https://weakdh.org/

I think as a minimum you will have to update your version of OpenSSH if
that is what you are using and maybe disable support for export cipher
suites and use a 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman group.

Regards,
David Legg
