Hi,

have you resolved this problem yet?

I reproduce it when I connect via either imap or smtp from claws-mail
linked against gnutls 3.3.10-1 to a postfix server with dovecot sasl
enabled.

In my case it is caused by my dovecot configuration, namely:

ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!EXP:!aNULL

According to [1]:

After removing SSLv3 from ssl_cipher_list the client connected
successfully. I'm not really sure though if it is a proper workaround
or am I opening a possible attack vector; I will be carrying out more
tests next weekend. However, I don't think it's necessary for gnutls to
behave this way, NSS works fine in either configuration.
