I am an email administrator who maintains a small group of 3 different Linux (CentOS 5) based email servers. Since the 10.10.4 upgrade, none of my users can connect to the SMTP servers over SSL (either port 465 or 587). Using the connection doctor, it always says:

SMTP: Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information about the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of the Account preferences.

This has been working fine for years, so I know it should be working.

The SMTP logs on the mac show:

The server logs show:

Jul 4 16:36:05 server sendmail[14474]: STARTTLS=server, error: accept failed=0, SSL_error=5, errno=0, retry=-1
Jul 4 16:36:05 server sendmail[14474]: t64Na5CS014474: client [X.X.X.X] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MSA

we have the Logjam updates and such setup for our servers, and the mac clients can connect to IMAP (using certs issued by the same CA). Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
