I am into final tuning of my mail server, and I greatly appreciate all the help I have received from the many lists I have had to go to for help. I am now at actual external testing, starting out with some free mail test servers. Right now I am trying out:

http://www.emailsecuritygrader.com

And from there I became aware that I probably don't have SMTPS (port 465) configured properly. Actually at first I did not even have it set up! So I reread the readme:

http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html

And add:

/etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_tls_security_level = may
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache

/etc/postfix/master.cf:
smtps    inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
     -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
     -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

and restarted postfix

And tried to telnet into localhost 465.  All I get is:

telnet test1.test.htt-consult.com 465
Trying 208.83.67.180...
Connected to test1.test.htt-consult.com.
Escape character is '^]'.


The one pointer I have found so far on telneting into 465 shows that I should have also gotten a:

220 ________  ESMTP Postfix

sending a 'ehlo' results in the connection closing.

Other smtpd main.cf options previously set are:

smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/tls/private/test1.test.htt-consult.com.key
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/tls/certs/test1.test.htt-consult.com.crt


Thank you for any assistance.
