Subject: [exim] 4.50, sometimes tls errors
Hello,

From time to time, on my debian systems using Exim 4.50, sending all
mail to our lab's mail server (exim 4.50 on debian also), I see these
error messages in the logs:

2005-06-21 09:00:04 1Dkbnn-000372-52 TLS error on connection to mail-veri.imag.fr [129.88.43.52] (gnutls_handshake): A record packet with illegal version was received.
2005-06-21 09:00:04 1Dkbnn-000372-52 TLS session failure: delivering unencrypted to mail-veri.imag.fr [129.88.43.52] (not in hosts_require_tls)

I do not understand why the TLS fails, because most of the time, it
works just fine. On the server, the corresponding log just shows an
unencrypted (no X=TLS-... info) incoming mail, without any error.

May someone explain me what's going on ?

Thanks.


PS: on the systems which show the error, the (really simple)
configuration is the following:

# Global options
#
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 :
qualify_domain = imag.fr
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s
accept_8bitmime = true

#
# Routers
#
begin routers

smarthost:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * mail-veri.imag.fr


#
# Transports
#
begin transports

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp


#
# Retry
#
begin retry

*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h
