So I contacted upstream about this.  They pointed out that you're
using SHA256 while I was only using SHA1.  They also suggested
checking that OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() was called.

Neither postfix nor dovecot calls it.  When I added the call to
postfix it fixed the problem.

I added it in tls_server.c just after the call to
OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms().  tls_client.c should
probably do the same.

dovecot calls SSL_library_init(), OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms() is a
define for SSL_library_init().  So adding the call in dovecot
after the SSL_library_init() should fix it too.
