I had tried this patch back in August and found that once applied and I
installed the new software, I could no longer send mail to any hosts
that had the STARTTLS extension. No diagnostics, qmail-remote would
just hang. I don't recall if it hung forever, or eventually timed
out and generated some "connection timed out" response.

It uses STARTTLS, which means that the normal connections are the
standard SMTP, when the server says it supports "STARTTLS", the client
has to respond with "STARTTLS" for it to being doing the SSL stuff.
So, it should work with all clients (only clients requesting it will
get it).

It's only a cert for the servers.

You use the "patch" command. Spefically, you need to be in the
top qmail source directory and run "patch -p1 -s <patchfilename".

Well, there's the STARTTLS RFC2487, available from www.faqs.org...
Probably more than you wanted to know though. ;-)
