This could be a problem with your mail server, or just the way it is
configured.  The easiest way to check this out is to telnet directly
to its port 25:

client> telnet tensor.xs4all.nl 25
[...connecting...]
server> 220 tensor.xs4all.nl ESMTP Postfix
client> EHLO my.real.hostname
server> 250-tensor.xs4all.nl
server> 250-PIPELINING
server> 250-SIZE 10240000
server> 250-ETRN
server> 250-STARTTLS
server> 250 8BITMIME
client> QUIT
server> 221 Bye
[connection closed]

When you give the server a "EHLO" command, it should have a "STARTTLS"
item somewhere in the list of things it pretends to support.  If not,
your SMTP server simply doesn't support this feature, and you'll have
to directly connect to port 465.  (Note that you can't use telnet for
such a connection, but it can be done with OpenSSL or another SSL
package.)
