Dear Community,

we use an IIS 6.0 smtp-server running on a windows server 2012 r2 server as a mail-relay for sending emails direct to internet users. Unfortunately, with one mailserver it isn't working as expected. We getting the following errorcode, when a user from our side tries to send an e-mail to this partner/customer:

530 #5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

The ssl-certificate is installed on the smtp-server and is working as expected.

Here is the log from the communication between our mailserver and the affected mailserver.
