thank you all
looks like Im working on TLS clients for the moment.
and it helped to enable 465
okay so after the STARTTLS and I issue an ELHO then what? what commands are
available from this point, what is a graceful exit ?
from what I understand is that each side has to decide what to do either "do
something" or quit.
im reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3207

I think you missed this part of Noel's post:
"If the connection works enough for "EHLO world" and a response, *use a
real mail client for a full test*. Once the connection works, very
likely anything else that needs tweaking will show up in the postfix log."
So just cut off the connection most ungraciously with Ctrl-] and quit
from the telnet prompt, or just Ctrl-C from the openssl client. Or,
graciously exit with a QUIT command (i.e. RFC 2821 4.1.1.10)
