I use:

RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH

for both - SMTPS and HTTPS. For HTTPS , I think this "NOT WEAK" enough. An 
attack against RC4 seems not to be practital at this time. Because my 
ASSP-GUI is only accessable from my local LAN, I don't care about it.

For SMTPS you can use what ever you want. If you accept only TLS1.1 and 
TLS 1.2 ciphers , 5% of the SSL connections will work, the rest will fall 
back to plain text. IMHO it is better to accept  a weak cipher that to use 
plain text for SMTP.
If your ASSP-GUI is accessable from the internet (even if only via SSL) - 
create an admin user and grant him all permission, except for all 
encrypted config parameters - AND NEVER use 'root' to login from the 
internet. Use 'SSLWEBCertVerifyCB' for higher security.

If you really need to kick out US and European secret agencies from 
reading you mails:

1. don't use SSL-certificates from CA's located in the US or Europe - (I 
use certs from Israel - the Mossad, Shin Bet and Aman are the lesser evil 
:):):)  )
2. don't use the certificate/key, you use in ASSP, for any other purpose 
3. don't use an ISP for mail transmission , if you don't encrypt your 
mails 
4. don't trust any "secured" transmission - use SMIME or PGP or your own 
algorithm  with symetric encryption (preshared keys) to encrypt your mails

Hi Doug,

I did a quick Google and it looks like you posted the same issue about a 
year ago:

http://www.zimbra.com/forums/administrators/63140-sslv3-alert-bad-record-mac.html


Do you recall what you did to resolve it then? From the other hits out 
there is seems that postfix can be particuraly unforgiving to AES 
connections (there are other people talking about having problems 
receiving email from Google via AES with Postfix).

I had RC4-SHA:HIGH as my preferred cipher after the beast SSL attacks, 
however with some of the latest revelations I should probably look at 
bringing AES back in.

Anyone else care to share their cipher lists and a quick explanation of 
why they picked it?

Mine is currently the following and this way because it was the only way 
to gain PCI compliance after the beast SSL attack.

RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH:!AES256-SHA:!ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:!AES128-SHA:!DES-CBC3-SHA:!DES-CBC3-MD5:!IDEA-CBC-SHA:!RC4-MD5:!IDEA-CBC-MD5:!RC2-CBC-MD5:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH:!AESGCM

All the best,
Colin Waring.
