Hi Gang

I was just able to reproduce a strange issue with an Outlook customer.

Receiving end is Postfix with an Let's encrypt wildcard cert. As far
the cert looks valid, the chain looks ok.

When the outlook customer is sending an email I see this in the logs:

2026-02-20T15:19:39.867675+01:00 mail postfix/smtpd[115462]: connect from

2026-02-20T15:19:42.993766+01:00 mail postfix/smtpd[115435]: connect from

mail-westus3azon11020138.outbound.protection.outlook.com[52.101.201.138] ehlo=1 
starttls=1 quit=1 commands=3

So obviously outlook just send the three commands: ehlo, startls and quit but 
never transmit the email.

The sender is never getting a notification (issue persists for one week now) 
about emails not being transmitted.

Only emails sent from outlook customer are affected.

Anyone else observing that issue and having an idea what the cause could be?
