This is not a forked package (none of perl is) so I would be astonished if this
is Devuan specific.

For me, specifying TLSv1_2 or TLSv1_3 works. I suspect the server doesn't accept TLSv1.

This is comparing different protocols.

If you do

  openssl s_client -quiet -connect imap.gmx.net:993 -tls1

you will get a protocol error which matches the perl TLSv1 error above.

Package: libnet-imap-simple-ssl-perl
Version: 1.3-5
Severity: normal

Hoi.

I am unable to establish a connection with IMAP servers:

	:-F cat /tmp/imap-connect-test.pl                   
	#!/usr/bin/perl
	 
	use Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL; 
	 
	Net::IMAP::Simple::SSL->new("imap.gmx.net:993", ssl_version=>"TLSv1") 
		or die("cannot connect to server\n"); 


	:-F perl /tmp/imap-connect-test.pl                  
	cannot connect to server


However, with Openssl I can:

	:-F openssl s_client -quiet -connect imap.gmx.net:993
	depth=2 C = DE, O = T-Systems Enterprise Services GmbH, OU = T-Systems Trust Center, CN = T-TeleSec GlobalRoot Class 2
	verify return:1
	depth=1 C = DE, O = Deutsche Telekom Security GmbH, CN = Telekom Security ServerID OV Class 2 CA
	verify return:1
	depth=0 C = DE, ST = Rheinland-Pfalz, L = Montabaur, O = 1&1 Mail & Media GmbH, CN = mail.gmx.net
	verify return:1
	* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN ENABLE ID IDLE LIST-EXTENDED LIST-STATUS LITERAL- MOVE NAMESPACE SASL-IR SORT SPECIAL-USE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UIDPLUS UNSELECT WITHIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN] IMAP server ready H migmx112 30.1 IMAP-1MiMV4-1tIcRX2vNm-00flL5
	a logout
	* BYE Server logging out
	a OK LOGOUT completed


I have debugged the problem for days, but cannot find out what the
problem is.

The background: I have qpsmtpd with auth_imap, to authenticate users
against a Dovecot backend, all running locally.

When trying to connect to the local Dovecot server (localhost:993) I
get this message in the logfile:

	dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed:
	SSL_accept() failed: error:0A000076:SSL routines::no suitable signature
	algorithm (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, TLS
	handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A000076:SSL routines::no
	suitable signature algorithm,
	session=<pqzOP5cwmtMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>

Openssl, again, works as expected.

In Dovecot I have allowed all SSL versions and ciphers:

	ssl_min_protocol = ANY
	ssl_cipher_list = ALL


The problem seems to be specific to Devuan -- or to my system --
the above example code works for a friend, running it on Debian
stable, which seems to have the identical version of the package.

My system is a fresh installation of Devuan stable.


Could you please check if it is a Devuan problem.

If not: Any clues how to solve it? ;-)

Thanks.
