Thanks George, that probably explains it as I haven't upgraded my OS in
over a year so the problem may have shown up some time ago.

Yes the cert could be a problem. And I too have had an issue with
openssl. It was a few months ago though.

Thanks Eric, I may have found the problem, although it has been a bit
intermittent so I've not completely declared victory yet. I
re-generated my cert for the server and that seems to have resolved
it. I wonder if there is something in the new version of openssl as
that was installed in the upgrade.
Here's all I got when I did a telnet to localhost.
qmail]# telnet localhost 587
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

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

You've narrowed it down to an apparent TLS problem.
I'm curious to know what about the greeting is incorrect. Have you
tried using telnet to see what the server is saying?
Port 25 or 587?
