Well, as I discovered yesterday, you might switch that off if you want 
to mysteriously deliver nothing to domains hosted by Microsoft.

There is definitely a CGP flaw here. Current OpenSSL will negotiate TLS 
1.2,ECDHE_AES256_SHA384 with the *.mail.protection.outlook.com machines, 
but the garbage TLS library CGP is using needs a non-standard config to 
get TLSv1.0,ECDHE_AES256_SHA and without that setting just gets tossed 
out during negotiation. As far as I can tell from the 2014-2015 logs of 
a handful of test and production instances running 6.x versions, CGP 
never bothers trying to use TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2 for SMTP client sessions.
