Recipient verification failing

We've had several problems receiving mails from different domains lately (all delivered to our UTM (primary MX-record) and all to be routed to another host (mostly Office365)).

Today I went for a more thorough search and found out that whenever I have Recipient verification (with callout) selected, which has always been selected in the past, it fails with a lot of addresses (all valid) hence the mail is simply rejected.

Here's what is shown in the logfile (masked real mailaddresses):

2018:07:12-23:18:48 utm-2 exim-in[26983]: 2018-07-12 23:18:48 [209.85.161.171] F=<***@gmail.com> R=<***@p***.**> Verifying recipient address with callout
2018:07:12-23:18:48 utm-2 exim-in[26983]: 2018-07-12 23:18:48 TLS error on connection from mail-yw0-f171.google.com [209.85.161.171]:34565 (renegotiation not allowed): error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)

 

When I set to No verification, mails are allowed and routed to the external mailbox correctly.

The fail is also seen when using https://www.checktls.com/TestReceiver for sending to a mailaddress. Once no verificiation is setup this site also gets a "OK".

Is there some reason verification is failing?

    So the problem applies to more than just Office365, and is specific to 9.510?

     

     

    No Douglas, not specific to 9.510 since I'm still on 9.509.

  • Hi,

     

    this error seems to come with 9.510 and server callout.

    The error seems to be only for incoming TLS1.2 connections and callout to Exchange with TLS1.0/1.1. (Exchange 2010 and Server 2008/2008R2)

    Seems there is a config enabled not allowing to downgrade TLS during such sessions.

    Maybe helps: https://www.msxfaq.de/signcrypt/tls.1.2.htm, switch Exchange 2010 and Server 2008 to have TLS1.2 as Standard and 1.0/1.1 as fallback only.

     

    Switch to only TLS1.2 will not work, because Exchange behind might not be able to do TLS1.2. 

    There are even bugs in Exchange 2010, even TLS1.2 is configured, it is not used as standard.

    To be checked viceversa, incoming TLS1.0/1.1 and Exchange only TLS1.2.

     

    I have raised a case to check this.
