Payment Card Industry should not dictate standards compliance for general 
e-mail servers.  I apologize for waking up Saturday’s thread, but I didn’t see 
it until today.

If you force TLS v1.1 on the server at this time, then any sys-admin requiring 
compatibility with desktops on a 4 year cycle is at least 3 years away from 
being able to upgrade his mail server.  That’s not reasonable.  If TLS v1.0 
does not satisfy your requirements for a security boundary, consider client 
side certs, client side enforcement of TLS version, PKI, PGP, or VPN tunnel 
like IPSec.  

TLS-SSL on the mail server has always been best-effort.  Real security is 
inside the envelope.

        ED.
