  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue TLS Errors in maillog

Staniel

New Pleskian
Hello,

I have had one of my client's contact me regarding non-delivery of emails from a certain email address I have checked the MagicSpam logs and I can't see any mail being stopped in the SMTP layer. I have checked the maillog and I have found several instances in the log:

Code:
Mar  1 03:39:20 ocelot postfix/smtpd[13958]: SSL_accept error from server2.vykupto.info[103.129.47.73]: -1

I have previously disabled legacy security versions and when I run a SSL Test against the server I am getting the following results:

Protocols
TLS 1.3 No
TLS 1.2 Yes
TLS 1.1 Yes
TLS 1.0 Yes
SSL 3 No
SSL 2 No

Is there a way that I can enable SSL2 for Postfix?
 
You could fiddle around with the smtpd_tls_protocols and smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols in the /etc/postfix/main.cf to at least enable SSLv3 (that would most likely suffice to establish a connection with these two mailservers)

As for SSLv2, I strongly advice against using that and it will most likely not work anyway, due to beeing no longer available in your openssl library.
When it comes to security with SSLv3 - in regards of SMTP it's quite negligible, as the real SSLv3 Killer "Heartbleed" is not really applicable here. Nontheless, it's for sure not the most secure protocol nowadays and I would at least use a dedicated certificate (read: a certificate with a secure key not used anywhere else) for that
