Postfix configure to use TLSv1.2
I start build my first cloud server: Ubuntu 16.04 with postfix.
Question is how can i configure postfix to use TLSv1.2 when i send mail from my webshop?
When my webshop sending mail to my postfix server it uses TLSv1 Here is log:
postfix/submission/smtpd[19111]: Anonymous TLS connection established from domainname.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA (256/256 bits)
in my webshop i set in config: use: TLS port: 587
Thanks J
My server info:
Ubuntu 16.04
postfix:
Installed: 3.1.0-3
openssl:
Installed: 1.0.2h-1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1
Here is log from postfix: can see mail come in with TLSv1 ... :(

TLS version 1.0 is often considered unsecure, which is why you are asked to turn it off. There are two potential bugs that affected TLS v1.0: BEAST and POODLE. The problems with TLS 1.0 were discovered a little later and are somewhat different than SSL v3 (see this discussion) but they are often viewed as the same.
What I've done on my end to make postfix compliant, though, is prevent the use of SSL v2/3 and TLS v1.0 with the following in main.cf:
smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3,!TLSv1
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3,!TLSv1
smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3,!TLSv1
smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2,!SSLv3,!TLSv1
I did not change anything in master.cf.
I also prevent basic encryption protocols with:
smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = RC4, aNULL
As per comment below, the complete list of exclusion should be updated to a longer list as follow:
smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = aNULL, LOW, EXP, MEDIUM, ADH, AECDH, MD5,
DSS, ECDSA, CAMELLIA128, 3DES, CAMELLIA256,
RSA+AES, eNULL
As a side note, you also need to force some form of encryption with the following two lines:
smtpd_tls_security_level = encrypt
smtp_tls_security_level = encrypt
This may have all sorts of side effects, so you may want to test any such changes before making the changes permanent. For example, mailman does not seem to support encryption at all.
man 5 postconf:
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols (default: !SSLv2)
List of SSL/TLS protocols that the Postfix SMTP client will use with mandatory TLS encryption. In main.cf the values are separated by whitespace, commas or colons. In the policy table "protocols" attribute (see smtp_tls_policy_maps) the only valid
separator is colon. An empty value means allow all protocols. The valid protocol names, (see \fBfBSSL_get_version(3)), are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1".
Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1" and "TLSv1.2". If an older Postfix version is linked against OpenSSL 1.0.1 or later, these, or any other new protocol versions, are unconditionally enabled.
With Postfix >= 2.5 the parameter syntax is expanded to support protocol exclusions. One can now explicitly exclude SSLv2 by setting "smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both SSLv2 and SSLv3 set "smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2,
!SSLv3". Listing the protocols to include, rather than protocols to exclude, is supported, but not recommended. The exclusion form more closely matches the behaviour when the OpenSSL library is newer than Postfix.
Since SSL version 2 has known protocol weaknesses and is now deprecated, the default setting excludes "SSLv2". This means that by default, SSL version 2 will not be used at the "encrypt" security level and higher.
See the documentation of the smtp_tls_policy_maps parameter and TLS_README for more information about security levels.
Example:
# Preferred form with Postfix >= 2.5:
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
# Alternative form.
smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = TLSv1
This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
