Outlook error messages generally aren't very useful, but this one is pretty obvious. Your Outlook client is configured to speak SSL to your SMTP daemon, but your SMTP daemon didn't like it. If you have a Microsoft error book you might be able to lookup 0x800CCC0F. :-) > The server is using qmail.

Rule number one when impersonating a program to diagnose something manually: behave like the program. If I had to guess it would be that your qmail-smtpd is advertising the fact that it supports STARTTLS but that you haven't properly configured it (i.e. forgot to install the SSL certificate). The other option is that you configured Outlook to use Secure SMTP (not quite the same as STARTTLS) and it is connecting to an entirely different port. Either way, you should remove that feature or figure out how to configure it properly.
