This message ("A disallowed SNI server name has been received") is generated
by GnuTLS library in lib/ext/server_name.c:112, error is thrown if SNI
does not pass this check:

inline static unsigned _gnutls_dnsname_is_valid(const char *str, unsigned size)
{
        unsigned i;
        for (i=0;i<size;i++) {
                if (!(c_isalnum(str[i]) || str[i] == '-' || str[i] == '.'))
                        return 0;
        }
        return 1;
}


Check function is defined in lib/str.h:63.

Let me remind that I observe persistent segfaults with 4.95-rc2 and 4.95,
in GnuTLS library, whose are definitely caused by some memory corruption.
Exactly the same version of GnuTLS library (3.7.2) works perfectly with
Exim-4.94, that's why I sispect that something in 4.95 code is broken...
Maybe SNI corruption is indication of the same problem.
