Hi

I have enabled TLS auth in my server. I got error "Cannot start TLS: handshake failure" while sending message. Please help me out to resolve this issue.
 
Welcome to tek-tips.

You have provided next to no information to go on to help you resolve the problem. Consequently, the best that we can do is do a lookup of the error message and start suggesting common causes. I would suggest that you google the term "Cannot start TLS: handshake failure".

From the results I obtained, this one jumped out at me:
According to the above, it looks like you have a problem with your certificates. You stated that you enabled TLS. Did you create (and sign) a set of SSL Certificates? Are they in the correct format? Did you properly configure your server in main.cf to utilize them?

Also look in your mail.log to see what error message(s) you get when you restart postfix. There is a good probability that it will give you a good clue as to the exact cause of the problem.
