Thanks everyone for helpful suggestions. I installed stunnel, and can now send mail to the remote ssl-on-connect host. For the benefit of anyone else with the same problem, I found the following page helpful, though their init.d script had to be hacked a bit for my Redhat system, and their stunnel command-line options don't seem to exist in my version of stunnel: http://www.technovelty.org/linux/tips#exim4ssmtp My stunnel configuration file is: client = yes [smtp] accept = 465 connect = smtp.myrelay.com:465 (NB it doesn't work if the option "protocol = smtp" is included).
