[CentOS] Entourage X and Sendmail STARTTLS on CentOS 4.4

Maybe the version of Entourage you have doesn't support STARTTLS.  Try  
enabling implicit SSL port in Sendmail's configuration by adding this  
line:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')

After adding that line, Sendmail will listen on port 465 (smtps) in  
addition to port 25.  You'll have SSL on port 465, and on port 25 you  
can have plaintext or TLS (after client issues STARTTLS).
