I'm trying to bring dovecot up on Debian/stable using Christof Meerwald's unofficial packages (cmeerw.org/debian/). This package seems to work fine on Debian/testing. There error I'm getting on the stable box is:
gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Bad record MAC)
Any guesses?
I guess you get this error message from your mail client (because my dovecot packages are linked against openssl). Does it work if you connect from Debian testing to dovecot running on Debian stable?
IMO, Debian woody's guntls package is too old and shouldn't be considered stable.
Btw, did you know I already provide a backport to woody at http://www.braincells.com/open/ ? I keep it in sync with my official packages.
Anyway I've noticed this too, and I have a feeling it might be something to do with the way we're generating a self-signed certificate. I haven't had much time to do an exhaustive investigation but I hope I might have soe time this weekend.
