Issue 644: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/644
Author:    Florian Pritz
Assignee:  

I've filed a report against msmtp, but msmtp devs think it's an issue with gnutls. Do you guys have an idea what's wrong here?

Below is a copy of the inital bug I filed with msmtp. In case you want to look at the original, it's here: https://gitlab.marlam.de/marlam/msmtp/issues/21

-----

When trying to send mails to a postfix server with TLS 1.3 support the TLS connection dies after sending the second EHLO.

The only error I see in the msmtp --debug output is this:
```
msmtp: cannot read from TLS connection: the operation timed out
```

I see the problem on my Arch Linux client with msmtp 1.8.0-2 and gnutls 3.6.5-1. With gnutls 3.5.19-2 I do not see the issue. Sadly we don't have any versions in-between to test with. The server is also Arch Linux with postfix 3.3.1-4 and openssl 1.1.1-1.

Using `gnutls-cli --starttls 587 $server` works just fine and I see the reply to the second EHLO, which is missing in the `msmtp --debug` output. If you want to test it yourself, feel free to connect to `mail.server-speed.net` on port 587 with arbitrary credentials. It appears that the issue happens well before the login.

The output I get with `GNUTLS_DEBUG_LEVEL=6 msmtp --debug` is rather long and I don't want to leak any private information. If you cannot reproduce the issue, please tell me what else you want to know. Here's the part at the end:
