Package: exim4-config Version: 4.69-9 Severity: normal By default exim4-config includes all certificates ca-certificates installs in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. This causes interoperability with a number of mail clients, primarily Microsoft ones, which get upset when a very large number of certificates are included in the initial greeting (I suspect in an effort to avoid overflows) and terminate SSL negotiations.
For maximum interoperability a safer default should be chosen, such as not using any certificates or using a separate store in /etc/exim (like the default certificate files). -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.69 #1 built 30-Sep-2008 18:26:44 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.6.21: (September 27, 2007) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.3-bytemark-uml-2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages exim4-config depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy exim4-config recommends no packages. exim4-config suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
