Diffie-Hellman key exchange is used to establish a shared secret between you and the server over an insecure channel (the internet). It seems that your server bases the exchange on a prime number whose length is considered insufficient by gnutls. You can install the gnutls-bin package find out what is going on. Running $ gnutls-cli $YOUR_SMTP_SERVER should give you information like this: - Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman parameters - Using prime: 1032 bits - Secret key: 1015 bits - Peer's public key: 1032 bits You can then try to set ssl_min_dh_prime_bits in your ~/.muttrc to allow for shorter primes, or you can try to convince the administrator of your server to switch to longer keys/primes. > The same server works fine (no complaints) with icedove. This is on lenny. Icedove uses libnss3-1d instead of libgnutls26; maybe libnss3-1d is less stringent with the minimum prime length. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
