My company's servers are having some curious issues sending some email to
google, running exim on Debian.
Exim version 4.94.2 #2 built 13-Jul-2021 16:04:57
The error seems unique to sending to google; we are sending around 12.5k
messages/day to a wide variety of recipients.
The error is along the following lines:
2022-06-01 11:42:55 1nwHaM-004E3d-7A H=alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
[142.251.9.27] TLS error on connection (recv): Error in the pull function.

Here is the (slightly anonymised) output from `swaks -a -tls -q HELO -s

Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
