Which confuses me, because I can use java to successfully negotiate a
certificate exchange with Postfix using the same keystore that the application
is using. I cannot see Postfix sending a different server certificate on port
465 from that it presents on ports 25 or 465. And if the certificate on 465
passes the keystore validation on the client then what would prevent it from
passing on post 25?
I know that the service is different on both ports, but the certificate
acceptability should be the same. And it is the client that is causing the
problem.
