Asunto: Re: [exim] TLS error in incoming emails from *.outlook.com
First, thanks to everyone contributing and sorry I did not have time to more deeply troubleshoot the SSL issue.



My previous assesment was wrong: even when exim was compiled with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS the error did occur, albeit with a different error message. Because it is a production system and I have 12 hour workdays at the moment, my next solution was this:



MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS = !40.80.0.0/12 : !40.124.0.0/16 : !40.125.0.0/17 : !40.74.0.0/15 : !40.120.0.0/14 : !40.96.0.0/12 : !40.76.0.0/14: !40.112.0.0/13 : *
tls_advertise_hosts = MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS

It is certainly not nice to exclude a whole network from using TLS, but it did not work anyway.

Now it gets even stranger, after exim stopped advertising TLS the new error message is this:

2018-02-13 01:42:49 SMTP connection from mail-oln040092066105.outbound.protection.outlook.com (EUR01-VE1-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com) [40.92.66.105] lost while reading message data
2018-02-13 01:43:51 SMTP connection from mail-oln040092070087.outbound.protection.outlook.com (EUR03-AM5-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com) [40.92.70.87] lost while reading message data
[..]
 Lost while reading message data? Yes, sometimes it appears Microsoft is lost. LOL. But I disgress...

I fired up Wireshark to see what is going over the wire, and this is one of the TCP streams:

I have no clue what is happening there. One can see a correct SMTP dialog, and then a message follows with a base64 attachment. Somewhere in that transmission, it just stops. Also interesting, the timeline.


It seems that somehow this Microsoft server is really misconfigured. If the problem was a network issue on my side, why does it only happen with the outlook.com servers?



Hm?
