Hm, what is the default then?
The default is to allow TLS 1.0 or higher. If you want to be broadly
interoperable, this is the recommended setting. There is no actual risk
in SMTP from leaving TLS 1.0 enabled. When you support TLS 1.2, and
the client does too, there is no known downgrade attack to TLS 1.0.
Yes, nh1.nethead.se and vrt.nethead.se
Your server defaults to an ECDSA P-384 certificate, the client may not
support ECDSA at all, or may not support P-384 (P-256 is a more broadly
supported choice):
$ posttls-finger -c -lmay -Lsummary "[nh1.nethead.se]"
posttls-finger: Untrusted TLS connection established
to nh1.nethead.se[5.150.237.137]:25:
TLSv1.3 with
cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256/256 bits)
key-exchange X25519
server-signature ECDSA (P-384)
server-digest SHA384
There appears to be no additional RSA certificate configured:
$ posttls-finger -p TLSv1.2 -o tls_medium_cipherlist="aRSA" -c
-lmay -Lsummary "[nh1.nethead.se]"
posttls-finger: SSL_connect error to nh1.nethead.se[5.150.237.137]:25: -1
posttls-finger: warning: TLS library problem: error:14094410:SSL
routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake
failure:ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1544:SSL alert number 40:
$ posttls-finger -p TLSv1.2 -o tls_medium_cipherlist="aECDSA" -c
-lmay -Lsummary "[nh1.nethead.se]"

nh1.nethead.se[5.150.237.137]:25: TLSv1.2 with cipher
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits)
Your choice of private key (ECDSA P-384) is likely the problem.
Thanks Viktor, that is exactly where my suspicions laid. Now on to fix it.
Thanks again,
