nmap; something else I see I don't have installed; I'm learning
other stuff here....

These result in tls-related errors after the afore-mentioned
10-minute wait.

I managed to get through to a knowledgable person at eskimo.com
and he thinks my problem is that, currently, the mailserver
doesn't support ssl at all.

However, when I set ssl_starttls to "no" it merely changes the
error message.

Searching TFM for tls doesn't reveal anything else that looks
relevant; is there something Double Top Secret?

btw, thanks for your time.
