Hi all,

I have an installation of Courier that is a "bit" old, and while talking to serveral different mail servers, I'm getting messages like:

454 TLS not available

and then the message is deferred, forever.

I have looked at the settings in esmtp-ssl and checked to make sure the system's certificates are readable by Courier, among many other things, but still I can't stop this message.  I have turned off TLS completely - assuming that the mail server its talking to would allow a non-TLS message to be delivered.

Also, I have telneted on port 25 from this mail server to the target mail server and had no issue in delivering e-mail to the intended recipient.

Does anyone have experience with this error or have any advice on where I should begin to look?

Look at the moron you're sending mail to. His mail server claims support for encrypted connection, yet when Courier calls his bluff, it vomits all over itself. The error message you're seeing is the remote server croaking after it's ordered to begin encryption.
