dovecot - Jun 2003 - gnutls_handshake problem

I'm trying to bring dovecot up on Debian/stable using Christof
Meerwald's
unofficial packages (cmeerw.org/debian/). This package seems to work fine on
Debian/testing. There error I'm getting on the stable box is:

gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Bad record MAC)

Any guesses?

Check versions of libgcrypt and gnutls.

I would recommend compiling libgcrypt, gnutls and dovecot by hand.

The actual error message doesnt tell me more than that the handshake
failed. Either server or client (or both) is in error.

I guess you get this error message from your mail client (because my dovecot
packages are linked against openssl). Does it work if you connect from
Debian testing to dovecot running on Debian stable?

IMO, Debian woody's guntls package is too old and shouldn't be
considered
stable.
