SSL connections not working.

[Leo Bicknell]

I have a problem which I don't think is strictly a FreeBSD problem,
but frankly I don't know where else to ask right now.  Hopefully
someone here can either help, or point me to the right forum.

I have a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE box, with saslv2 (from the ports tree)
and sendmail 8.13.3 (built by hand) installed.  One of the things
they are configured to do is accept connections on port 465, that
is a native SSLv3 connection.  This setup has been working for some
time.

All the sudden clients (Outlook, Mulberry) that connect to port 465
simply hang after the connection is made.  Mail is never sent.
There is nothing in the sendmail logs, and the clients report a
generic timeout error.  I tried reinstalling sendmail, reinstalling
sasl, and creating new certificates, and nothing changes the behavior.
I can connect (locally) with openssl's s_client and get what appears
to be a normal and correct sendmail dialog.

I'm now at a loss.  I don't know which bit of software (FreeBSD,
sendmail, openssl, sasl, Outlook, Mulberry) might be at fault, much
less what might be the right place to ask questions about this
interaction.  I've searched google near and far and can find no one with
the same issue.  I've tried rebuilding and reconfiguring things several
different ways now based on different pages I found, but they all result
in the same behavior.

Any help, even if it's just pointing me to a more appropriate forum,
would be greatly appreciated.
