If you need to actually send the email you need -quiet otherwise after RCPT TO: <....> the 'R' is taken as 'R'enegotiate. Anyway thanks as it got me on the way to having both STARTTLS and smtps working at least locally. I'm waiting for my friend on AOL to try it as port 25 is either blocked or proxied, I didn't proceed further than 'telnet mail.lordynet.org 25' from her system as although there appeared to be a connection established it wasn't to xmail. Attempt to send from Evolution on Ubuntu to my server failed on port 25 so I setup to use SSL which I guessed was smtps on port 465 and confirmed when I got back here.
