On a current snapshot from Mar 2nd with the latest ssl patch and the
openssl test behaving the same on 5.6 Stable with the latest ssl patch,
I have an issue that I haven't been able to get to the bottom of.

I was going to post this to the opensmtp list as I have had an email
stuck in my queue for days but a test with openssl gets stuck too and
using checktls.com shows DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA successfully being used
all be it with a hostname CN mismatch.

/usr/bin/openssl s_client -connect mx5.demon.co.uk:25 -starttls smtp
-CAfile /etc/ssl/cert.pem

Just says CONNECTED(00000003) with no further output (atleast
for minutes).

swaks seems to get stuck at the same point as opensmtpd logs show (ready
to start tls). OpenSMTPD then times out and seems to get in a loop
between the MX. I'm not sure why it doesn't deliver to mx6.demon.co.uk
without STARTTLS which it doesn't seem to offer after failing with
mx5.demon.co.uk which does offer STARTTLS. I guess a backup without
STARTTLS suggests they may have had issues before or are being prudent
and expect any failures to fallback to sending in plain on mx6.

I can send the smtpd log with trace mta enabled if it is of any use. I
expect not though.

I have successfully sent a mail to mx5 in plain text using telnet.

I'd have to unblock port 25 for my clients on my firewall or setup a
machine/connection to test from a newer or older libressl version so
any tests on older or the latest current would be interesting and save
me the trouble.

I can always have the stuck mail sent by gmail and hope no others
timeout which I shall probably have to do now anyway.

Thanks for any insight

Kc
