Blocking SSLv2 in Postfix (2.7) for PCI compliance

[mjames85]

Just posting this for the record as it took half a days googling and trial-and-error to get it blocked.

add the following to your main.cf config file:

smtpd_tls_security_level = may
smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes
smtpd_tls_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1, !SSLv2
smtpd_tls_cipherlist = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP:-eNULL

then just do a postfix reload. eg.

/etc/init.d/postfix reload

to check it's actually disabled use the following openssl command

openssl s_client -connect xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:25 -starttls smtp -ssl2

which should give you something like this:

CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104

as opposed to the SSL3 test

openssl s_client -connect xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:25 -starttls smtp -ssl3
CONNECTED(00000003)

....
