Let's assume that I have no idea what I'm talking about. However, I can successfully report what I SEE. 1. Android's mail app wants to use STARTTLS when it connects to my mail server, for whatever reason (send or receive) isn't important now. It wants it, and I want it to be happy, or else it doesn't work. 2. When I telnet to port 25 of my mail server, sendmail does NOT announce STARTTLS as one of it's capabilities. This, despite my having all the incantations *apparently" correct in my hostname.mc, fresh self signed cert and key file in /etc/mail/certs, and various other things that have been suggested/intimated by various sources. It would be nice to solve the problem stated in the Subject of this insanely long thread: Why is my sendmail refusing to announce STARTTLS ? Thanks, Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
