I did some searches in the archives. If there is anything similar,
searching on Eudora and ssl or tls didn't find it. Eudora will not
complete TLS negotiation with Cyrus.
I am running Redhat Roswell (the current Redhat Beta, 7.1+) on an Intel box.
I am running cyrus-imapd-2.0.15-HIERSEP-r2, and (from the Redhat rpm)
openssl-0.9.6b-7.
I have generated a server key that works with Eudora 5.1 when I use it to
communicate with smtp and Postfix. It is not signed by a "known CA" but
Eudora allows you to "trust" a particular certificate. smtp goes through
the postfix use of the SSL library. However, when I use that same key to
connect to imap on the alternate port, things just don't work.
The message (from Eudora) is:
SSL Negotiation failed: You have configured the personality/protocol to
reject any exchange key lengths below 0. But the negotiated exchange key
length is -1. Hence this established secure channel is
unacceptable. Connection will be dropped. Cause: (-6996)

A ethereal dump of the interaction between Eudora and Cyrus, which doesn't
say much:
* OK parrot.squawk.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.15-HIERSEP-r2 server ready
00000 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID

00000 OK Completed

00001 OK Begin TLS negotiation now
Then some binary gets put in here...
00001 NO Starttls failed
* BAD Invalid tag

and a short binary burst here...
Has anyone actually either (1) seen this message or anything similar or (2)
gotten Eudora to work with cyrus imap? Is there new tls stuff that I
should be using?

We often hear of war described as if it were some kind of impersonal
affliction, such as the Black Plague or famine.The fact is that war is not
just something that happens, it is something that people make happen, and
they make it happen for reasons. As Clausewitz said, war is the continuation
of politics by other means. Exactly. War is neither a hurricane nor a flood.
It is, on the contrary, the cutting edge of ideology.
