bug#482404 comment #42 is confirmed to fix problem for exim4-daemon-heavy 4.69-9 
(or most probably any): I've removed most of ca-certificates and the
problem went away.

This (these) bug is a _mess_. It's not just maintainer-mess, it's admin-mess too
because it's almost impossible to read them all, or find any relevant information.

My problem isn't related to m$ exchange, outlook, anyting, the error was there for
random hosts. My guess would've been that lots of certs, low entropy and messy
coding results the error, since it mustn't really be fixed by removing certs.

It seem to be fixed by it, anyway.

I wonder why isn't possible to handle lack of entropy, why isn't possible to 
separate several different sources of this problem, but this probably
already has been answered somewhere in the hundreds of messages of these 5-8 bug
reports. :-(

I wonder as well why these bugs aren't against gnutls, but that's probably 
answered somwhere deeply hidden either.

Thanks,
Peter
