sslv3_alert_handshake_failure error

[UnityWeb]

Hi,

After upgrading openssl to latest 0.9.8e, i'm getting this qmail error :

delivery 11: deferral: TLS_connect_failed:_error:14077410:SSL_routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3_alert_handshake_failure;_connected_to_1.2.3.4

It seems that the new version of openssl breaks something, crawling around i've found
this thread : http://www.thegillis.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=31

which suggest putting a 'control/tlsserverciphers' in qmail, with a single word "DEFAULT" in it.

After restarting qmail, still the same error.

Any clues ?

Thanks

Old post I know... But in case anybody runs into this... Here is how you fix this error:

Run the following commands as root:

openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers
openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers

This corrected the problem for me on a CentOS 5.3 machine that was displaying this error.

You can verify that you have a working TLS installation by running the following command:

openssl s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect mail.example.com:25

where mail.example.com is your mail server you want to test.
