Opened: Apr 15, 2016

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

All SMTPS TCP resets issue the same message from the same code line, making determining the exact cause difficult, if not impossible.

Impact

Usability - the connection will be torn down with only a vague indication of why.

Conditions

An exceptional situation (such as out of memory, missing STARTTLS command, or other internal error) occurs that causes the SMTPS hudfilter to tear down a connection.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Each connection teardown message is now unique, making it easier to determine the cause from the associated logs.
