Hello,
today I suddenly started to see log lines telling me "A TLS fatal alert has
been received.: Insufficient security".
The thing is, that it as far as I can see only happens when receiving
messages from the German mail provider GMX.
I can send messages to them, I also can send mails from GMX to my other
accounts at other mail providers and transmission happens TLS encrypted
(using the same ciphers). I also still receive mails over TLS encrypted
links from other mail providers.
The interesting part of the communication is as follows:
gnutls_handshake was successful
TLS: checking peer certificate
TLS certificate verified: peerdn="C=DE,O=1&1 Mail & Media
GmbH,ST=Rhineland-Palatinate,L=Montabaur,CN=mout.gmx.net"
cipher: TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256
Have channel bindings cached for possible auth usage.

I didn't upate anything the last days. I'm using Exim 4.92-7~bpo9+1 from
Debian with GnuTLS 3.5.8-5+deb9u4.
I had hopes I could learn from Marc Merlins issue, but after some
similarity for starters it seems to be something different and I'm at a
loss.
