[gnutls-dev]Re: Bug#176037: gnutls_handshake: DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE

[Mark Histed]

Hi Andrew,

The problem went away without me installing new versions of the Debian
gnutls or mutt packages, so my guess is that something with the server
changed.

fyi, if I telnet to port 143 on po11.mit.edu, I get:
* OK po11.mit.edu Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.5 server ready

Thanks for looking into it!
Mark
