Looks like your sendmail is trying to use SSLv3 a.k.a TLSv1 and that may
not be supported in whichever version of OpenSSL you're linking to any
more.  TLSv1 has some known deficiencies, and the TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2
ciphers are generally preferred nowadays[*]

There's some config-fu at https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html which will
allow you to configure your sendmail to use the most up to date and
believed still to be secure ciphers for preference, plus disallow
anything known to be insecure.  This works for me in general, but it
might cause you problems if you need to exchange e-mail with some
particularly old machines.

	Cheers,
