Problem with SMTP/STARTTLS

[Glenn Trigg <glenn aus compgen com>]

Hello,

I am trying to get balsa working with sendmail using STARTTLS. I 
believe I have all the basic stuff set up right (libesmtp compiled 
right, certificate placed in .authenticate/private/smtp-starttls.pem) 
but when I attempt to send mail the smtp connection with sendmail fails 
and the message is held in the outbox.

It's hard to figure out what is going wrong, the only thing I have is 
the log messages from sendmail, which are:

Feb 27 16:00:39 gw2 sendmail[30596]: STARTTLS=server, 
relay=blaqz.aus.compgen.com [203.43.78.82], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, 
verify=OK, cipher=EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA, bits=168/168
Feb 27 16:00:39 gw2 sendmail[30596]: g1R50bfe030596: 
blaqz.aus.compgen.com [203.43.78.82] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN 
during connection to MTA

TLS connections to this sendmail work for other people using netscape.

Anyone have any suggestions?
