Description Enrico Morelli 2007-03-06 10:39:36 UTC
netqmail-1.05 doesn't send emails using ssl.
Trying  to test the qmail server with:
 openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp
Using ssldumo I receive:
CONNECTED(00000003)
21702:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:596:


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create certificate with /var/qmail/bin/mkservercert 
2. start svscan
3.use "openssl s_client -connect localhost:25 -starttls smtp" to test the installation

Actual Results:  
Using ssldump:
CONNECTED(00000003)
21702:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:596:

The output of claws-mail protocol log window:
 Connecting to SMTP server: localhost ...

** couldn't start TLS session
*** Error occurred while sending the message.

Expected Results:  
Sends email using a secure channel

To solve the problem I run the following commands:
 openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers
 openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers
Comment 1 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-06 19:59:41 UTC
Works for me. Please give more details on how to reproduce it. Because, when done as supposed (and described when emerging), it works.

Can you please try with -r4? There have been changes in between which might affect SSL. You don't use QMAIL_PATCH_DIR, do you?

After the problems with -r5 I tried the -r4 with the same results.
I don't use QMAIL_PATCH_DIR.
Comment 7 Enrico Morelli 2007-03-08 09:22:37 UTC
Seems that the "bug" affect only my "~x86" system. On another machine "x86" the netqmail-1.05-r4 works fine using all features.

I was able to reproduce it on a ~ppc system. Installing openssl-0.9.8d helps. It must have been a change between upstream's openssl-0.9.8d and 0.9.8e which causes this bug.

This is just an update about the status, I don't have a fix yet.
Comment 9 nuitari 2007-03-30 06:01:44 UTC
I had a similar issue when I installed mail-mta/netqmail-1.05-r5 and dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e.

I had to create the file:
/var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers

With that on 1 (!) line:
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:NULL-MD5:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:RC4-MD5:DHE-DSS-RC4-SHA:ADH-AES128-SHA:ADH-AES256-SHA:DH-DSS-AES128-SHA:DH-DSS-AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA

Of course I don't know which ciphers there are good and which are crap, but if tls negotiation fails because of a bad cipher list, then the emails are never going to be sent (talk about bad behaviour...)


hammer ~ # emerge -pv netqmail

[ebuild   R   ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8e  USE="(sse2) zlib -bindist -emacs -test" 0 kB

This is on ~amd64 and similarly on ~x86

I know this appears to "work", but I'm unsure whether it's the correct solution. If you've any other idea, please tell me. Maybe I should write an e-mail to the qmail list.

Actually I've just noticed that at the very end of the first bug report there is:

To solve the problem I run the following commands:
 openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers
 openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers

Unfortunately, this issue was not fixed by the bumped SSL patch. I'll try to write to the qmail mailing list. If someone else has a way to solve it *without* writing config/tls{client,server}ciphers, please speak up.
Comment 14 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-05 22:15:04 UTC
I added a patch to -r7. As it seems, someone forgot to pass a parameter to control_readfile. Please give me some feedback so I can send the patch to upstream.

No response and upstream applied it. Closing.
