Thank you Bill and Viktor,

I had been planning to get a real certificate when I upgrade the OS
and postfix.. I'll see if that resolves the issue.  Probably look into
DANE/etc as well.  I've got a pretty long list of deferred TLC...

As I said, they always retry and succeed (with TLS, even) so not too
worried about that.

And yes, as Viktor wrote, TLS should be opportunistic on port 25 so
not exactly my problem.

The other one I guess I can wait a month and see if they have sorted
themselves out by my next statement.. but in that case I'm currently
losing mail I want so even if not technically my problem, I would like
to do something about it sooner than later if it continues..

thanks,
Greg
