Hello,


Firstly, I'd like to thanks Christoph Haas for this real great tutorial! 

I'm having a serious problem: I'm trying to use postfix to allow relaying
with secure connection on my Debian 4 Etch !

I've follow every step line by line .Using username/password with no secure
connection is working fine but when I try to use TLS, I always receive the
same message (from thunderbird) stating that I have no STARTTLS in the
response to the ehlo command (confirm that by making it in telnet, no 250 -
STARTTLS like in screenshot of the tutorial).


Im my syslog , I get :

Jan 23 01:15:00 stela postfix/smtpd[3081]: connect from unknown[X.X.X.X]
Jan 23 01:15:00 stela postfix/smtpd[3081]: disconnect from unknown[X.X.X.X]


Parameters in my main.cf concerning TLS:

# TLS parameters
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/postfix.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/postfix.pem
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache

[...]
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination





I have tried several times in several VMware server and always the same
behavior!

Thanks in advanced for any further help; I'm really going crazy with this
annoying problem.

NB :If I try to use SSL (always with thunderbird) I get a connection failed
!!!
