I'm using nginx on my server both as a mail reverse proxy and a web server which are both secured with SSL. When I run a cipher scan against that server, the EC ciphers only work for HTTP, but not for the mail module. The output for HTTP is this: prio ciphersuite protocols pfs_keysize 1 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 2 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 3 DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 4 DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 The output for IMAP SSL is only this. prio ciphersuite protocols pfs_keysize 1 DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 2 DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Both modules have identical configuration for SSL and the used ciphersuite. I attached the config I am using at the moment." defect closed major nginx-module 1.5.x fixed mail SSL EC cipher elliptic curve Linux 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 12 00:41:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux "nginx version: nginx/1.4.5 built by gcc 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4) (GCC) TLS SNI support enabled configure arguments: --prefix=/usr/share/nginx --sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/client_body --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/proxy --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/fastcgi --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/uwsgi --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/tmp/scgi --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --lock-path=/var/lock/subsys/nginx --user=nginx --group=nginx --with-file-aio --with-ipv6 --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_flv_module --with-http_mp4_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_random_index_module --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_degradation_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_perl_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-cc-opt='-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' --with-ld-opt=-Wl,-E"
