Hi All: There are many ways described out there to set up sendmail to transmit over ssl.
One possible solution is 'stunnel'... I've run the command 'stunnel -c -d smtp -r <host:465>' I've also tried using 'openssl s_client -connect <host:465>' This is fine and well... Mail goes out no problem. But only sometimes. More often than not, processing of sendmail's queue will just hang.... Output listing is below: This is a random thing... I've not been able to narrow it's cause down to any specific reason. If a message gets delivered, five minutes later it will not be (on a seperate attempt of the same message). Please help as this is driving me crazy. I don't know if the randomness of the message has anything to do with it, but I can tell you that in most cases, the same message is going to many different people. If you know anything at all that might be causing this ... please advise.
