Someone, who will not be identifed, has subscribed to one of my mailing lists. Their mail server refuses to accept any mail from my mail server. The log messages produced by the attempts are: Jun 10 02:02:57 lists sendmail[42408]: f583XcY11785: TLS: error: SSL_connect failed=0 (5) Jun 10 02:02:57 lists sendmail[42408]: f583XcY11785: ruleset=tls_server, arg1=SOFTWARE, relay=dan@localhost, reject=403 4.7.0 piskapo@example.org... TLS handshake failed. I've contacted them (via phone, they're not exactly contactable via email) to discuss this with them. The response I got was "our mail server requires authentication". Well, they're not going to be getting a lot of email? How widespread is this strategy? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
