For your information, while SSLv3 has been disabled on IETF web
servers, it has still been enabled on mail transport. The tools is
taking action to disable SSLv3 even on mail transport. After this, all
IETF web and mail servers support only TLS-based transport on secure
connections.

If you have any feedback regarding this, let me or the tools team know.

Have you disabled non-TLS SMTP transport, too?

If not, isn't there a chance that disabling SSLv3 will cause *SOME*
email to fallback to non-encrypted?
