#174762 — courier-imap fails

Subjectcourier-imap fails
Message-ID<sDPp7-7LU-21@gated-at.bofh.it>
I've just upgraded my VPS from Wheezy to Jessie.
Most things work fine, but my mail service has died.

The only clue is in /var/log/mail.info:
imapd-ssl: couriertls: accept: error:14094417:SSL
routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert illegal parameter

It turns out that this was reported in bug #787579, which I think should
have been resolved by now. Googling suggests a work-around: DH_BITS=2048
mkdhparams, but this seems to have little effect. I'm not sure what format
a PEM file should take, but my dhparams.pem is only 201 bytes, which seems
a bit small.

Anyway, can anyone please suggest any remedy, please.

Have you checked that the mkdhparams script really did create a new
dhparams.pem? Looking at the man page of mkdhparams indicates that it
does nothing if dhparams.pem exists and is less than 25 days old.

Thank you, Markus; that was indeed the problem. Well spotted!
