I found a response to the message
(e-mail address removed) "Outlook
2003 fails to use SSL". I, too, am having similar issues
with two different Outlook 2003 clients (two different
computers, both running Windows XP Pro) trying to send
mail through Sendmail 8.13.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d. I have
included a relevant excerpt from my OPMLog.log.

Note that the port is 925, however this fails on ports 465
and 25 as well on BOTH clients.
Considering my network structure, this might at first
glance appear to be the MTU issue with the LinkSys routers
referenced in another KBA. However, I have determined
that the problem exists behind several different routers
with varying MTU settings, on both cable and ADSL
connections. In recent testing, the computer was unable
to send when connected DIRECTLY to the Internet on the
same network as the server.
Build information on one of the problem clients:
11.5608.5703
I noticed when looking at the "About Outlook" window that
it shows a cipher strength of 128 bits. My SSL
certificate is 256 bits. I'm not familiar enough with the
inner workings of SSL encrypted email to determine if this
is a potential problem.
