Actually, I already fixed this once and forgot about it.  Renewing a
LetsEncrypt certificate results in a group/world readable privkey.pem
file.  Sendmail understandably barfs.  I had a fix in certbot for this
but obviously I did it wrong.  Anyhowever, after turning off group and
world read permission on my privkey.pem file, my server is once again
offering STARTTLS!                                          -- George
