Thanks.

We already pre-generate the DH parameters for sendmail and have them sitting around in a dhparms.pem file unique to the server. I wonder if anyone has created a patch that allows UW IMAP to read such a file and supply the parameters?

In order to perform a DH key exchange the server must use a DH group (DH
parameters) and generate a DH key.

UW IMAP neither generate DH parameters on the fly nor supply the
parameters - thus no DHE can be negotiated.

You may patch the code and use SSL_CTX_set_options(3) to set
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option, but generating DH parameters on the fly is
extremely time consuming.
