I just updated my OS to the latest version of Centos 5.5 and now I can't
send email. I am getting the error
an error occurred sending mail: the mail server sent an incorrect
greeting: unable to read controls (#4.3.0)
Then I get
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server
mail.gbco.us was lost in the middle of the transaction.
Oddly enough, I can't really find any errors in the qmail logs. I
thought it was a permissions error in /var/qmail/control but can't find
anything there, here's a list of the permissions.

I thought it might be a spamdyke problem, so I disabled that, but no luck.
Then I disabled starttls in my client send and it's working now.
However, I really don't want to send email unencrypted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Gary
