"ssl handshake aborted" error after last update

aian · Nov 3rd 2014

hey there!
i didn't fine anything regarding that topic so if you do - please close this and shame on me.

after the last recent update (1.1.16) on debian 7.7 i get the following error while getting my mail via smtp:

Code

SSL handshake aborted:
ssl=0x7.....: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error
error:14077410:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure (external/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:741 0x71774............)

any ideas how this got here? i can still fetch my mail via webinterface, but i like them on my laptop/mobile, too.
And: I can still send mail...

thanks!

Hello;

Just edit your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file and remove the line about the SSL POODLE attack (at bottom). Once it's done, restart dovecot.
