Hi,
I plan on changing my postfix config from
smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = RC4, aNULL
smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv3, !SSLv2

to

smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv3, !SSLv2
smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA, EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA, RC4, aNULL

I ran this
openssl ciphers -v ALL|grep -v SSLv3 |grep -v SSLv2

before and after the change on my test server and it lists 32 ciphers each time.

My questions:
1. can i turn up postfix debug level to see the actual cipher chosen when a 
mail server connects to my mail server ?

My master.cf looks like this:

smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

Do i just add some -vv onto submission and smtps and start watching the 
/var/log/maillog file to see if the ciphers chosen are in the logs ?


Thank you, and if you need more info from me please ask.
