      System: Advanced: Notifications
      SMTP E-Mail

      Having trouble getting notifications to work with Postfix mail server operating in TLS standard mode (non-wrapper mode).  Cannot connect to the host unless mail server is operating in the non-standard "wrapper" mode.

      php: /system_advanced_notifications.php: Could not send the message to pfSense@<domain>.com – Error: could not connect to the host "smtp.<domain>.com": ??

      Standard mode like this for instance fails to connect to the host.  :(
      Postfix master.cf:
      submission inet n      -      n      -      -      smtpd
      **  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt**
        -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
        -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject

      Non-Standard "Wrapper" mode like this for instance works.  :)
      Postfix master.cf:
      submission    inet  n      -      n      -      -      smtpd
      **  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes**
        -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
        -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject

      Postfix Doc:
      http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#server_enable

      Thanks for any helpful input you can provide.</domain></domain>
