When I try to post a message with upas/smtp -a I can't get around the
following error that shows up in /sys/log/smtp:

| talisker Feb 13 13:20:36 remote cert. has bad thumbprint: x509 sha1=08F63C39700EA3F2DCD47B9DE70358123BE09DB6 server=smtp.web.de

although I added

| x509 sha1=08F63C39700EA3F2DCD47B9DE70358123BE09DB6 server=smtp.web.de

to /sys/lib/tls/mail.

In the SMTP dialog, the client therefore keeps silence after it
requested STARTTLS and the server the server said "go ahead".  The
session quits through timeout, then.

Is that also what you get?

BTW: The man page of smtp(8) explains the meaning of '-a' two times
(slightly differing, slightly confusing)

I gave up trying to send mail via authenticated SMTP at this point
last year.
