Package: exim4 Version: 4.69-4 I started seeing the "A TLS packet with unexpected length was received." error yesterday, with connections from a box running Etch (exim4 4.63-17) and using the box running testing as an SMTP relay with auth over TLS. At the time I was running 4.69-2+b1 but I've since upgraded to 4.69-4 in case that resolved it - it didn't.
Looking at /var/log/dpkg.log for packages that where upgraded on 27th/28th (in particular I was looking for gnutls related things) the only potential candidate was ca-certificates, which I upgraded from 20070303-0.1 to 20080411 on the 27th. I "aptitude purge ca-certificates" and tried flushing the queue on the stable box; mail started flowing again. If I install ca-certificates 20070303-0.1 mail flows correctly. If I upgrade to 20080411 Exim starts logging the TLS error again. I'm not using client certificates; auth is done by username/password. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.69 #1 built 27-Apr-2008 09:13:52 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.6.21: (September 27, 2007) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen.
