The sending site doesn't offer/advertise TLS; only the receiving site can do that. Your sending site won't initiate TLS if the receiver doesn't offer it. Also note that some network security devices, notably PIX, will interfere with TLS and other SMTP features. If the command # postconf smtp_tls_security_level shows anything other than "unknown parameter", then TLS support is compiled into postfix. > > Like I said above, this sounds like something is amiss with one of the > config files, but I am not sure where to look. > > Any hints? > Here's the docs for enabling TLS while sending mail: http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls_levels http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_tls_security_level -- Noel Jones |
