I would prefer not to get into the religious flame wars, but it's not
true that I can't legally change the qmail software. Hell, it was my
applying a well known patch to qmail that got me the TLS support that
now seems to be causing me problems :). (maybe that's :( )

Yeah, uh, actually I have. I'm not sure why the error message is that
it couldn't find a client cert in the file, it certainly is there, but
I'll look into that. What's odd is that these messages are getting
through and I haven't changed anything in my system at all.

Yes, that will be the next step.
Thanks for your help,
