Postie TLS version

The kInit in the Postie extender has a security option for 'tls'.  I recently had to move to a new server and the TLS option is no longer working.  What I think may be the issue is the version of TLS supported by Postie may be older than the new server allows.  What protocol (i.e v1.2) and ciphers are required for Postie to work?  Is there any chance of getting Postie updated?

Thank you,
Bill

Postie support TLS v1.1 and older.  As for ciphers, it supports SHA1 and several others.

Updating Postie to support TLS v1.2 is a nontrivial task that will not likely happen in the near future.  We do appreciate that feedback, however, and will add it to the to-do list.

In case it helps....I will also add my vote to this update.

 Thanks for the info Tony. 

If Postie is to be updated, I'd suggest the 1.3 specification of TLS.

TLS 1.3 support will depend on how compatible Openssl 1.1.1  is with Postie.
