freeBSD-4.9-STABLE

I must be doing something wrong.  SMTP AUTH is not working very well for me. 
I have been trying to authenticate with user and password to port 25.

I prefer to send all auth user and password information with SSL encryption. 
would like SSL Version 3 encryption.  

I am using microsoft outlook on windows XP machine to do the sending.  I have
the username and password defined.

I have configured outgoing mail requiring authentication then clicking both
with Secure Password Authenticaiton and without.

receiving POP mail securely is working fine.


this is the error ending up in /var/log/maillog

Any clues on this?
