and [ msmtp ] is connecting indeed. Does TLS/STARTTLS need to be added to [ inet_listener lmtp ] in order to facilitate [ lmptps ]? If so what is the syntax? Right now this error comes up: > msmtp: TLS handshake failed: The TLS connection was non-properly > terminated. > So what should be listening on port 262? Unix sockets are not tcp ports. > You have lmtp as unix socket configured but want to access from remote via > tcp socket?
