My guess--with it being soon after 1/1/2017--is that the certificate is using 
SHA-1.

Subject: [mailop] Trying to work out cause of "Certificate rejected over TLS. 
(unknown protocol)" error

We've suddenly had a couple of reports from users about people sending to them 
(e.g. sending from a remote service to our servers) failing and bouncing with 
the error message:

Certificate rejected over TLS. (unknown protocol)

There's not much more in the error message, I haven't managed to get hold of a 
complete bounce email yet, or find out what server is being used, but I'm 
trying to get hold of that information.

I don't believe anything has changed on our side (software wise or 
configuration wise), so I'm not sure why we're suddenly seeing a couple of 
reports of these errors.

We're using postfix 2.11. We've got a valid cert that's not expired.

$ echo | openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect
mx1.messagingengine.com:25  2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates 
notBefore=Nov 28 00:00:00 2016 GMT notAfter=Feb  3 12:00:00 2020 GMT

Also confirmed it's the same for all of our mx servers.

Has anyone seen this error before and/or know what causes it?
