JavaMail TLS problems with Java 7?

[Knute Johnson]

Anybody using Java 7 and STARTTLS with JavaMail? I am getting an error
that says it can't start the TLS because of a Diffie-Hellman problem.
There is an old bug about DH and I don't know if this is related. This
program ran fine in Java 6 but won't work now in 7.

I'm just curious if anybody else has run into any problems. I've been
searching but haven't found anything related to version 7.

Thanks,

Out of curiosity, I happened to be wondering at the state of OpenJDK 7
in Debian's packages, and there is a bug mentioned there about SSL not
working: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638008>. I
don't know if it's the same problem, though.

I think it is a different problem but maybe a symptom of the same disease.

The main thing I have discovered about Java 7 is it gets the country
local wrong on Windows. I doubt though that would explain your
problem.
