Wobei ich vor 10 min zu diesem Thema auch noch das README.Debian in debian/rules vom Exim4 Paket gelesen habe.

Section 2.2 Troubleshooting sagt:
   You might also find "TLS error on connection to [...]
(gnutls_handshake): The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the server is not
   acceptable (not long enough)." given as reason. Exim by default
   requires a DH prime length of 1024 bits. This requirement can be
downgraded by setting the tls_dh_min_bits option on the SMTP transport.
   The setting is accessible in the Debian configuration by setting the
   macro TLS_DH_MIN_BITS. (e.g. "TLS_DH_MIN_BITS = 768").

Das ganze Thema ruehrt wohl von dieser ominoesen "Mail in Deutschland" PR-Kampagne. Es ist zwar positiv, dass die grossen Provider nun auch TLS fuer den Mailversand nutzen, aber deswegen ist man noch nicht sicher vor Ueberwachung durch Geheimdienste.
