Hi, Have you had any response to paul on Twitter yet? He has responded to me a couple of times there, but this is a different point entirely.

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your reply. My openssl version is 1.02q of November 2018. The ciphers I'm using were from the A+ OWASP. Clients are Android 7.1 Aquamail, and IE11.

FWIW I just implemented the cipher suites for B (broad compatibility) and got a higher score on the Qualys SSL Labs test (got A+ both times but higher score on secure ciphers second time). I think that B should be enough unless you want to really start locking down. I wouldn't go any higher than B on a public web server anyway.

You cannot make exceptions for specific clients as the handshake is done as the first step so the client isn't even identified. You can of course configure the strings in different servers differently.
