Re: cyradm and TLS 1.2

Thanks!  You have the more correct fix:

From: https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/TLSv1_client_method.html

"TLS_method(), TLS_server_method(), TLS_client_method()
These are the general-purpose version-flexible SSL/TLS methods. The 
actual protocol version used will be negotiated to the highest version 
mutually supported by the client and the server. The supported protocols 
are SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. Applications should use these 
methods, and avoid the version-specific methods described below."

Thanks,
John
