I don't understand how you can listen in SSL mode without TLS
negotiation. How does it know what the cipher or the key is? Or do you
mean without the STARTTLS command? The client just fires up an SSL
session without asking? Is this before or after the initial banner is
output? No doubt there is no document that specifies how this is
supposed to work.

I'm not keen on adding standard-breaking code for old clients.
Netscape 3 has been obsolete for quite some time, hasn't it?
