Anyone out there been able to configure postfix with TLS certificate support on 
AIX?

I am trying to get postfix running on a RS/6000 running AIX 5.3.0.0. Postfix is 
working, it sends mail, which is all we want this server to do (it will never 
need to receive). Where I am running into trouble is getting TLS working, we 
postfix to send mail to a specific server and use certificates to authenticate 
and encrypt the transaction. I compiled Postfix with TLS and started 
configuration according to the instructions on the postfix.org site 
(http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html)

* enabling TLS results in postfix failing to load. By process of elimination, 
it is pretty clear that " smtpd_tls_security_level =  may" is the culprit. Any 
value aside from no causes a failure to start.

I am not sure if these are related , but I figure it is worth mentioning. 

* when I run " postconf -a" nothing is returned. However, if I enter " postconf 
| grep cyrus" I get the following:

cyrus_sasl_config_path = 
lmtp_sasl_type = cyrus
send_cyrus_sasl_authzid = no
smtp_sasl_type = cyrus
smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus

It looks to me like this was set to use cyrus, but shouldn't "postconf -a " 
tell me this? 

openssl is already installed on the server in /usr/bin/

I should also say that I am pretty new to AIX, but have worked with Postfix on 
other forms of Linux/UNIX, so I am not sure if the issues are based in Postfix, 
AIX strangeness or a combination of the two. 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
