This morning I discovered this in the logwatch report for our external MX backup host.
STARTTLS: write error=syscall error (-1), errno=32, get_error=error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), retry=99, ssl_err=5: 206 Time(s)
I also see many entries similar to this:

I have not seen this sort of thing before and I am wondering what it means? Googling has not provided anything useful. In case this was an incipient HDD error I rebooted with /forcefsck but on CentOS-5 one obtains no log of the rc report. I am also not entirely clear on whether or not /forcefsck actually repairs any errors. Thus it may not mean much to have done this.

From what kind of logfile are those lines? That's not Sendmail log style.

The first system in question simply does not support TLS and it fails while testing.

Without knowing your Sendmail setup and what is causing the kind of log content it is hard to give you a hint. Exit state 75 is TEMPFAIL. STARTTLS works for inet08.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca.

I have to correct myself. This is MCI logging of Sendmail (Mail Connection Information (MCI) Caching Module).
The log entries show dumping of MCI structure content.
You seem to have communication issues between the systems involved.
You better look into the /var/log/maillog directly to understand the whole information flow.

Btw. CentOS 5.10 needs to be updated to 5.11 to be current with security and bug fixes.
