Hi, thanks for the tip about checking SELINUX.  Sadly no change when testing 
openssl command with SELINUX off. :-(


Not sure if this is a hint but  this works on the server
        openssl s_client -connect mail6.its.uconn.edu:465
so I think the SSL cert files are all good, as 465 and 587 use same files.


I have to "control-C" to get back to prompt
[root@mail6 postfix]# openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect 
mail6.its.uconn.edu:587
CONNECTED(00000003)
^C


I tried even adding "- v" to this line in master.cf with a restart and logs 
went up for port 465 but nothing changed for 587
        submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd -v

thanks.

...and so on...

Postfix daemons open lockfiles while running as root. If they can't
do that, then check out
- NFS server configuration (disable the root->nobody mapping)
- Selinux or AppArmor configuration
