Hi!

I cam trying to solve the following problem using exim4 and dovecot:

Users having their own sites inside the domain (sitex.domain.de) should send their outgoing mail in SSL sessions connecting to port 465. The password will be verified by dovecot.

Now I habe the problem that Exim is not accepting what the clients are sending. They get disconnected already before the password is verified.

The error in main.log is:

SMTP protocol synchronization error (input sent without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=[...] input="\200C\001\003\001"

Is there any solution to this problem?

I did follow these instructions:

https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_dovecot_authenticator.html
and
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL

BTW: I did not find the original config example in the debian package. Maybe, It would have helped me.

Can anybody give some help?

regards,

Jutta
