Your real problem is that this file is different based on which CentOS you’re on [or should I say, which openssl is loaded]. If you have CentOS 7, with openssl 1.0.2k, you can tune this file to include each cipher you want [the file can actually be 10+ lines long wrapped]. This is so you can remove all the “hacked” ciphers, especially to force your clients security to remain high. If your running openssl 0.9.x, you don’t get the newer TLS ciphers you need to be secure.
Using the default is way too low, and if you do, you will where someone gets hacked over a ‘free’ WiFi connection [because you had SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 on].

Some times it's interesting not knowing what your doing! haha I guess the question I have is.. What is the proper tlsserverciphers for a qmailtoaster with a letsencrypt certificate. If that even makes sense. And what is the proper way to actually do it. I've read multiple things on various forums, including here. One says to do: echo "!EDH:!DHE:!RC4:!ADH:!DSS:HIGH:+AES128:+AES256-SHA256:+AES128-SHA256:+SHA:!3DES:!NULL:!aNULL:!eNULL" > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers One says to do: openssl ciphers 'MEDIUM:HIGH:!SSLv2:!MD5:!RC4:!3DES' > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers yet another says to create a sym link to the servercert.pem file. ln -sf /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers I guess it has to do with how tight you want security to be and maybe tlsserverciphers can contain various forms of how to define that. Just looking for what "most" people would use for an up to date Centos 7 server.

I get the following error in the dovecot.log. TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408A10B:SSL routines: ssl3_get_client_hello:wrong version number Any help would be appreciated.
