BUG: _presence_ of valid openssl.cnf Option = 'ServerPreference' causes Dovecot submission relay FAIL: "failed: Failed to initialize SSL: ..."
I've dovecot --version 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) openssl version OpenSSL 1.1.1g FIPS 21 Apr 2020 , atm on Fedora32. I configure /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf to set preferences for apps' usage, e.g. Postfix etc; Typically, here cat /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf openssl_conf = default_conf [default_conf] ssl_conf = ssl_sect [ssl_sect] system_default = system_default_sect [system_default_sect] MinProtocol = TLSv1.2 Ciphersuites = TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 CipherString = ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 Options = PrioritizeChaCha,ServerPreference However, any/all sends from local client via Dovecot submission -- from an instance on the same server -- FAILS with that^^ openssl.cnf, ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <= ... 2020-08-24 17:04:42 submission(testuser at example.com)<D4c5c6itUg2sHgsH>: Error: smtp-client: conn int.mx.example.net:465 (10.0.4.65:465) [1]: connect(int.mx.example.net:465) failed: Failed to initialize SSL: Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't load SSL certificate: error:14187180:SSL routines:ssl_do_config:bad value: section=system_default, cmd=Options, arg=ServerPreference,PrioritizeChaCha 2020-08-24 17:04:42 submission(testuser at example.com)<D4c5c6itUg2sHgsH>: Error: Failed to establish relay connection: Failed to connect to remote server ... editing, - Options = PrioritizeChaCha,ServerPreference + Options = PrioritizeChaCha cures the error ==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <= ... 2020-08-24 17:08:04 submission(testuser at example.com)<Uow+f6itZg2sHgsH>: Info: Successfully relayed message: from=<testuser at example.com>, size=433, id=Mh4pJWRWRF9jHQAAVDn7pA, nrcpt=1, reply=`250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 4Bb8TJ4VQbz7v6t' ... checking ssl docs https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html BOTH are valid 'Options', ...

This usually indicates a mobile client is in use. Equivalent to SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA. Only used by servers. ... The mere presence of that option in a system-wide openssl.cnf shouldn't cause a Dovecot submission failure.

This sounds more like OpenSSL issue than dovecot issue. Aki
