Issue/Introduction

Cause

The mail server you are trying to send to does not advertise the STARTTLS command

Resolution

  • The recipient mail server's MTA does not support or has not been enable to advertise TLS.
  • A feature such as 'inspect esmpt' has been enabled on the local or remote firewall masking out the STARTTLS command.
