right... btw- STARTTLS only supports TLSv1 while sslwrap uses SSLv2 or SSLv3 - hence the flags argument to the stream_ssl_new function. My guess is that he has configured his server to use the wrong SSL/TLS protocol(s).
there was a bug about this a long while back where evo would try to use SSLv2 or SSLv3 or something with STARTTLS (or else TLSv1 with sslwrap, I forget which) - either way, the problem was that evo was allowing nss to try and use an inappropriate SSL version. Now that problem is fixed, but likely some servers are incorrectly configured to try and sue the wrong SSL versions.
