Yeah, that could have been helpful.

Indeed, and also with Postfix (built against OpenSSL 3.0):

    $ posttls-finger -c -Lsummary -lmay  "[82.218.176.66]"
    posttls-finger: SSL_connect error to 82.218.176.66[82.218.176.66]:25: -1
    posttls-finger: warning: TLS library problem: error:0A000152:SSL routines::unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled:ssl/statem/extensions.c:879:


With OpenSSL 1.1.1:

    $ posttls-finger -c -Lsummary -lmay  "[82.218.176.66]"
    posttls-finger: Anonymous TLS connection established to 82.218.176.66[82.218.176.66]:25: TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)
    posttls-finger: Server is anonymous


Interestingly, that server support anon-DH ciphers, which is not that
common. Postfix is one of the few MTAs that enables ADH/AECDHE opportunistic
TLS, and indeed the server in question appears to be a very old Postfix
build:

    220 circuit.inbus.at ESMTP Postfix
