[Bug 1884588] Re: Certificate problems sending mail

[Rolf Kutz]

You can reproduce the issue by trying to send an email.

Of cause I can help to test a new version, when it appears in security-
proposed.

Title:
  Certificate problems sending mail

Status in mutt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since the update to mutt-1.9.4-3ubuntu0.2 I see certificate errors
  when sending mail. I use letsencrypt certificates. Initially the cert
  is accepted, but later on I see different kind of errors on multiple
  tries to send mail. Before the update, sending mail worked fine. IMAP
  is still working without any problems.

  I get 3 different error messages in a random order:

  #####

  Warning: Server certificate was signed using an insecure algorithm
  Could not negotiate TLS connection

  #####

  This certificate belongs to:
     Let's Encrypt Authority X3

  I'm using

  set smtp_url=smtp://USERNAME@SERVER:587

  to configure the outgoing mail.

  I cannot permanently accept the certificate for sending, but if i
  temporary accept it, mail is send ok.

  I wonder why there show different messages when trying to send an
  email? Why does it sometimes show a "Server certificate has been
  revoked" warning?

  If you need additional information, I will try to provide them.
