Mozilla and others have reported on old web clients that doesn't support
the use of new SHA-256 signed SSL certificates on websites. In a recent
thread at Mozilla
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1064387#c6, there's a
reference to Qualys:

"At this time, a site could use two certificates: ECDSA+SHA256 for
modern clients and RSA+SHA1 for older clients."

A feature supported by Apache at least.

Is this something Postfix can do as well for STARTTLS support?

Eventually any other ideas or experiences with using SHA-256
certificates that have caused problems for STARTTLS, or ex. appliances
that doesn't support it?

I already know that Cisco Ironport and Barracuda appliances only
supports up to and including TLSv1, haven't found any info there for
SHA-256 certificates yet.
