I had this error message only because my authentification setup was wrong. Instead of a proper error message with a hint, iMail tried a few things and broke up. The TLS connection was just left as it and later closed. WS Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#502963: exim4-daemon-light: Error sending mail with Apple's Mail.app to exim4 over TLS with authentication.
I had a similar problem and solved it by making sure my Debian certs (Exim4/Courier) were created using the same domain name as I was configuring in Mail.app. Then I deleted all of the old entries from the Mac keychain and everything worked perfectly.

Bug#502963: exim4-daemon-light: Error sending mail with Apple's Mail.app to exim4 over TLS with authentication.
Package: exim4-daemon-light
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: normal
I am trying to get Apple's Mail.app to play with exim4 on a Debian (lenny)
server.
$ dpkg -l | grep exim
ii exim44.69-9
ii exim4-base 4.69-9
ii exim4-config 4.69-9
ii exim4-daemon-light 4.69-9
I would like the laptop Mail.app lives on to use password authentication over
tls to send mail. However, it does not work.
$ cat exim4.conf.localmacros
MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true
$ cat update-exim4.conf.conf
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames='fooke'
dc_local_interfaces=''
dc_readhost='fooke'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets='192.168.1.0/24'
dc_smarthost='machine.isp.com'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
In exim4.conf.template:
plain_server:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = ${if
crypteq{$auth3}{${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$auth2}lsearch{CONFDIR/passwd}{$value}{*:*}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $auth2
server_prompts = :
.ifndef AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}}
.endif
$ cat passwd
user:310rn3lrrprLr
This is generated using:
htpasswd -nd user
In mainlog I see:
2008-10-18 17:35:39 no IP address found for host laptop (during SMTP connection
from [192.168.1.41])
2008-10-18 17:35:49 TLS error on connection from ([192.168.1.41])
[192.168.1.41] (gnutls_handshake): Error in the push function.
'ping laptop' shows there is an IP address for 'laptop' (it comes from dnsmasq
on my dhcp server I think).
$ ping -c1 laptop
PING laptop (192.168.1.41) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from laptop (192.168.1.41): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.89 ms
--- laptop ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.898/1.898/1.898/0.000 ms
However, to be sure, I add an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts and the IP
message goes away but the push error stays.
Turning off password auth but still using tls creates the same error.
Turning off password auth and not using tls works just fine and email sends.
I spoke to the exim guys and they say it is most likely to be a gnutls/debian
bug and to post here. I have tried using another client (another Debian box)
and I get a different error which is fixed if I reduced the number of certs in
ca-certificates. However, this does not fix the Mail.app error.
Mail.app uses tls just fine to get the mail in the first place over IMAP.
