[Bug 6595] New: "Disable SSLv2 support due to its removal from OpenSSL" - Debian patch

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6595

             Bug #: 6595
           Summary: "Disable SSLv2 support due to its removal from
                    OpenSSL" - Debian patch

Disable SSLv2 support due to its removal from OpenSSL

Patch attached.  I'm not sure what version it should be applied to.  I think it
fixes a build breakage with the latest version of SSL.  Description of change
from Debian:

>From debian/changelog:

spamassassin (3.3.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Disable SSLv2 support due to its removal from OpenSSL (Closes: 622053)
...

>From debian/NEWS:

spamassassin (3.3.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  This version of spamassassin introduces a change in behavior when
  using SSL to encrypt communication between spamc and spamd.  This
  change only affects usage of spamc or spamd with the --ssl option.
  Due to protocol insecurity, OpenSSL has removed support for SSL
  version 2.  Consequently, the "sslv2" and "sslv23" options have been
  removed from spamc and spamd.  The default option is sslv3.

  This change should be transparent unless you are using spamc or spamd
  with a peer that is explicitly configured to use only sslv2

Thank you for the information and the patch, makes sense.
For starters we can apply it to trunk and let people try it.
Possibly too much of a change just before the 3.3.2 wrapup
(but don't take my word for it, we are not using spamc/spamd
here, so my voice doesn't count much on this topic).

That was an explanation, not a request, for a status change :)

I am running this on devel and production servers running RH and it's a
long-standing downstream patch from debian.  +1 for 3.3.2.

Committed to trunk and will notify Debian package maintainer so they can be
prepared for this issue.

It's not a "long-standing downstream patch from debian".  They only created it
44 days ago.  It's currently in their unstable and testing releases, and Ubuntu
Oneric (scheduled to be released in October).  So it probably hasn't seen a lot
of use on production mail servers.

Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just that it hasn't actually seen
extensive end user testing in stable releases.

Thanks for the catch.  I mixed it up in the debian changelog with a 2003 patch.
 Retargeting to 3.4.0.
