Hi,

Canonical have decided to have decided to ship Ubuntu with a openssl
binary compiled with the seclevel option set to 2 as default:

"Security level set to 112 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH
keys shorter than 2048 bits and ECC keys shorter than 224 bits are
prohibited. In addition to the level 1 exclusions any cipher suite using
RC4 is also prohibited. SSL version 3 is also not allowed. Compression
is disabled."

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1864689
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233186/ubuntu-20-04-how-to-set-lower-ssl-security-level

This might have some implications for anyone running a mail server on
Ubuntu as smtp delivery to recipients with a "legacy" SSL configuration
will break with SSL errors like for example: "SSL
routines:tls_process_ske_dhe:dh key too small"

Just thought I'd spare others some troubleshooting in case you run in to
this, and see if anyone else have any thoughts on it. :)
