Useless bit of trivia: OpenSSL 1.0.2 can do TLS 1.2

That version should be plenty backwards compatible - most of the 
cleanup work that removed support for old systems and compilers 
went on in the later releases. OpenSSL 1.0.2u compiles perfectly 
fine with gcc 3.3 in an environment of that general age.

You can also build the very latest sendmail on such a system and 
link it against your shiny TLS1.2-capable OpenSSL.

Your machine will still be full of unpatched security 
vulnerabilities, but it will be able to send mail in a modern 
environment.

There's going to be a hard cut when TLS 1.2 is dropped too, 
though.
