Nice to know ;-)

Interesting site, but I need more time to understand the tests.

When I use openssl, I get a long timeout after "CONNECTED", and then
something what looklikes there is no certificate available at all:
-----------------
paul@server2:~$ openssl s_client -connect mail.vandervlis.nl:993
CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104
---
no peer certificate available
---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 295 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion: NONE
---
paul@server2:~$
-----------------

Port 465 (postfix SSL/TLS) has the same problem.

When I use openssl to port 443 what uses the same certificate,
everything is fine. But TLSv1 with DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA cipher is used.
I am using a SHA256 certificate with a 2048 bit public key.

Realize that this has worked for a long time, and so far I know I did
not change anything.

On my new mailserver port 993 (Cyrus 2.4.17) works fine with the same
certificate. (Only tested with openssl.)

I only accept TLSv1 high-security ciphers:
tls_cipher_list: TLSv1+HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH

The problems are not very big, I can tell the people to change port 993
to port 143 in the client, this fixes the problem.
Most people are already using port 143.
