Hi lzby, and thanks for the reply,

On my security settings page for server to server, I have the following

My cert is signed by jabber.org's StartCom CA.  And I'm sure my testing with
openssl hasn't been sending a cert at all.

 - Maybe try enabling the option and I can recheck to see if there's a
difference?

With all my testing with openssl, jabber.co.za is the only server that it
fails to connect to.  (and the openssl command line client is _very_ liberal
with what it accepts by default)

I have (amongst others), encrypted connections to: jabber.org, jabber.ru,
and rivera.za.net.   Can you tell if both directions are encrypted?

I am not sure how I can be of assistance to you, but please let me know

Being able to get hold of you is a great way to be of assistance :-)
