RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
_postfix_ now supports user-controlled configuration of *TLS* With this update, _postfix_ offers configuration options for more precise control of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version. For example, you can now disable *TLS* v1.1 while having *TLS* v1.2 enabled. To do this, add the following line to the `main.cf` file: smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !TLSv1.1

Description Martin Poole 2015-12-01 17:46:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

postfix in RHEL6 supports TLSv1.1 & TLSv1.2 when using the more recent openssl library. Unfortunately there is no mechanism to control either of these, either as explicit or as exclusions

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

postfix-2.6.6-6.el6_5.x86_64

Backported fix

The fix is easy and should be harmless.
Comment 4 Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-06-02 14:19:45 UTC 
Scratch build for testing:
http://people.redhat.com/jskarvad/rhbz1287192/
Comment 5 Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-06-02 14:22:51 UTC 
main.cf:
smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = TLSv1.2, !TLSv1, !TLSv1.1, !SSLv2, !SSLv3

And TLSv1.2 is only used if STARTTLS is initiated.
