hello all

We have a RHEL 7 based server running monitoring software consisting of
Groundwork Monitoring Software, which includes Nagios , Nedi, and other
tools. This server is set up with TLS enabled and it uses a script to send
email to any SMTP server that we choose.  I have an SMTP server set up with
Postfix version 2.10.1.  Whenever I try to send mail from the monitoring
server to this postfix based SMTP server, using TLS, I get the following
strange errors in the maillog of the postfix server:

I have substituted our IP addresses with X's for security purposes.  Any
suggestions on how to fix this issue? It's preventing us from sending mail
from the monitoring server to the SMTP Server. The ONLY way I can send the
mail is to EXPLICITLY tell the send email script to not use TLS when
sending the mail to the SMTP server.


Thanks
