hey jamon,

solved it!  that put me in the right direction -- just randomly copied
some shit from a guide, i'm sure a bunch of this stuff is unnecessary
but at least it seems to work:
# utoronto requires tls
smtp_use_tls=yes
smtp_tls_loglevel=2
smtp_tls_security_level = may 
#smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_security_level = may 
smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes 
#smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1
#smtpd_tls_received_header = yes 
#smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s 
tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key


i'll try to pare thisdown when i have more time but for now it works...
