I should ping Ivan Ristic and ask him to change that policy.  It
is counterproductive.  See:

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7672#section-8.2

If you're not obligated by some regulatory requirement to have "green"
checkmarks from a counterproductively strict TLS stack audit, leave
"aNULL" ciphers enabled when doing unauthenticated opportunistic TLS.

Slinging unused certificates around adds nothing to your security.

Postfix supports these by default, most other applications do not,
as they're not part of the "DEFAULT" cipherlist in OpenSSL.

Perhaps they did explicitly turn off "aNULL", or they're not using Postfix.
