Outbound is an even smaller percentage of total TLS connections established in 
August; 0,0002%. Interestingly, they are both banks; one Dutch, and one Swiss. 
Both using SSLv3 with AES256-SHA, wouldn't be surprised if that means they are 
using the same brand of security product.

The odd thing is that both banks drop to RC4-MD5 when sending to us. I've seen 
this on another product that we support ourselves as well; the Postfix client 
negotiates a higher protocol level and better cipher for outgoing mail than the 
server does for incoming mail. There is probably a good reason for this, but it 
feels to me like they should support the same protocol and cipher level 
regardless of direction?

Re-enabled SSLv3 for incoming connections again, by the way; turns out that 
about half of those incoming connections are from an outsourcing firm that 
handles payment notifications for, yes, another Dutch bank. Sigh ;-)

Mvg,
Joni
