Public bug reported: Only started in the last 2-3 days, exim stops delivering mail to smarthost. Logs have error: "A TLS packet with unexpected length was received"
Same symptoms on two servers delivering mail to smarthost. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Simple solution: Create file "00_localmacros" in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main Insert the following two lines into the above file: gnutls_compat_mode=true gnutls_require_protocols=NORMAL:%COMPAT:-VERS-TLS1.1:-VERS-TLS1.2 As root, run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config (you don't need to change anything) Then it just works. More info: for me, both servers were using mail.iinet.net.au as smarthosts, but from the info on the web, it seems wider than iinet. ** Affects: gnutls13 (Ubuntu) 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/1007231 Title: Solved: exim4 smarthost error A TLS packet with unexpected length was received To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls13/+bug/1007231/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
