Hi,

I noticed that an email connection from the
Samba bugzilla server attempted STARTTLS
and failed.  Then sent the message
unencrypted.

My guess is that the SSL/TLS library
in use is either out-of-date and/or the
cipher-suite is restricted to insecure
ciphers.  The MTA here uses openssl
1.0.1h and is configured

O CipherList=HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL
O ServerSSLOptions=+SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 +SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE
O ClientSSLOptions=+SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2

Log entries for the failed STARTLS message are

Jul 21 11:12:53 xxx mimedefang.pl[22017]: RELAY: <2001:638:603:d068::82:20> <samba-bugzilla.samba.org>

FYI


Regards to the Samba team.  Thank you
for this most excellent software.
