We have a bunch of untraceable TLS issues that can sometimes be reproduced with some clients, and sometimes not. These are most probably GnuTLS issues, but we (both the Debian and the exim community) lack the GnuTLS knowledge to clearly say "this is exim's fault" or "this is GnuTLS' fault" (the latter being the more probable). We also do not have enough knowledge to even debug these issues, so most of these bug reports rot away in the Debian BTS with the appropriate help tags. This is a very disturbing situation. Please note that this is not a rant towards you, Philip or the exim core team - you guys do great work. But all of us have the problem of missing GnuTLS knowledge. If I remember correctly, the guy who wrote the GnuTLS interface code for exim is not active in the mailing lists any more, right? Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
