Sorry to kick an old topic but I did the following today on my servers to disable SSLv3 against the POODLE security risk:
Disabled SSLv3 on Apache
httpd-ssl.conf
# Disable SSLv2
SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder On
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5
Disabled SSLv3 on Exim
exim.conf
# SSL/TLS cert and key
#tls_require_ciphers = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-SSLv3:-EXP
Disabled SSLv3 on Dovecot
Dovecot.conf
#ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-SSLv3:-EXP
------------------------------
The problem is that when changing the dovecot and exim settings I am not receiving any more e-mail.
mail.err log shows:

----------------------
Anybody know how to solve this? I assume I should have the SSL3 option disabled. For now only apache has it disabled.
I am using the latest version of directadmin, custombuild2.0 and when doing a .build update of custom build everything is up to date.
