Today I switched for the first time to a new SMTP server I'll have
to use in the future.  It gives me the error messages

gnutls.c: [0] (Emacs) fatal error: The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the server is not acceptable (not long enough).
gnutls.el: (err=[-63] The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the server is not acceptable (not long enough).) boot: (:priority NORMAL :hostname foo.bar.com :loglevel 0 :min-prime-bits nil :trustfiles (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) :crlfiles nil :keylist nil :verify-flags nil :verify-error nil :verify-hostname-error nil :callbacks nil)

Despite these error messages, Emacs is sending the mails I want to
send. In that sense, I cannot tell how relevant these error messages are.
For a nonexpert like myself, they are certainly irritating.
