Hi,

SUSE has received a bugreport from a user, that the "padding" extension
change breaks IronPort SMTP appliances.

There might a RT on this already, not sure.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875639
http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/OpenSSL-1-0-1g-and-Ironport-SMTP-appliances-interop-issue-td66873.html

Quoting from our openSUSE bugreport:

Last upgrade to openssl-1.0.1g-11.36.1.x86_64 broke SSL connections to some
services, e.g. Cisco Ironport SMTP appliances.

1.0.1g not only fixes the Heartbleed bug but also adds another change by
adding:
#define TLSEXT_TYPE_padding 21

This in turn breaks SSL connections to e.g. Ironports, probably others:
SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert decode error

Workaround: Force protocol to SSLv3 or recompile without the define above.

For details, please refer to:
postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/OpenSSL-1-0-1g-and-Ironport-SMTP-appliances-interop-issue-td66873.html


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. openssl s_client -connect some.ironport.com:25 -starttls smtp

Note: Send me an email for a hostname of an Ironport SMTP appliance to test
with. I don't want to disclose it here.
Actual Results:  
CONNECTED(00000003)
