I have found the problem, the problem was that I don't put the
tls_certificate and tls_privatekey parameters, now It works.

Well, not works fine. It works when I use Netscape 6.2 to send mail, but it
doesn't work when I use Eudora or Netscape 4.7.

When I use Eudora the error message is

Error reading from network      Cause: (0)


and when I use Netscape 4.7 the error message is

An error occurring while sending mail: SMTP error. The server responded:
(null)

Which could be the reason for this?

P.D.: All mail readers are in the same machine.
