I was reading a thread of troubles about the new 56.0 version and the
TSL_PROTOCOL changing for the esmtpd package. We just recently upgraded to
this version of courier, are are also running into the problem with the
error line:

courieresmtpd: courieresmtpd: STARTTLS failed: couriertls: accept:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

After digging around for this, it looks like the ONLY answer I found, was
from Sam saying to set esmtpd to TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL2.

No no no? We want to be up to spec, and use SSL3, and not dumb down our
entire mail server, because it is unable to accept connections from older
mail servers anymore. Surely this isn't the ONLY fix?

Case in point, we have another server running a very old version of courier
(specific reasons I will not divulge right now). That server was unable to
send mail to our new 56.0 server because it would throw this error when it
tried to connect. Silly... Courier unable to accept mail from courier.

Once I changed the /etc/courier/esmtpd file to use TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL2, the
old server (and what seems like other servers out on the net) are now able
to connect to send mail to mailboxes we have.

I can only wonder what other evils are created by reducing our NEW server to
an OLDER protocol.

Is there a proper fix in the works? Or should we downgrade back to v55.1 ?


PS: excuse duplicate entry if one... Mail server was refusing send
