Upon further investigation, apparently mail is not moving. There seems to be 2 
domains associated with this site but I was only asked to enforce TLS on one of 
them. That is why it appeared to be working. Getting back to Chris' comments, I 
think setting the security level to 'encrypt' forces everything to be TLS and 
that will not work. I need it to work as I previously described.
