SSL is implemented via smtps (and depreciated), and is essentially just SMTP being wrapped with SSL. TLS has been integrated fully into SMTP (forgot the RFC here) via the STARTTLS (STLS in POP3) command. Thus your MTA seems to be coerced into attempting an TLS connection (this is advertised w/ the EHLO response)... and it's being denied. Likely because of lack of certificate. If your MTA didn't support TLS at all, you {probably,should} see a different error message. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
