If it says "454 TLS missing certificate" instead of the 220 response then it's a problem with their server. Lately I've been getting a lot of these, I check the whois, call the SA and they take care of it. Lots of people are running servers advertising TLS without a certificate.

I used to get a lot of these too. However, I don't see any usefulness in doing TLS with arbitrary servers out there. Therefore, I choose to turn OFF TLS for all my outgoing SMTP connections.
