Thanks Ralf.  I thought I had found the problem in that my FQDN did not
match my CN.  I reset the FQDN and recreated the sendmail key and
certificates but the problem still exists.  The mail does get delivered.

The CN is the commonName correct?  I may not have something correct when
I created the certificates, just not sure what.

Thanks,
