The error is a GnuTLS error parsing the header of the PEM file.
Either the certificate file or the key file is malformed or in an
unsupported format. Look for lines terminated with "\r\n" rather
than just "\n", excess trailing white-space, and look for non-ASCII
characters.

Post the output of:

    grep '^-' /etc/ssl/certs/mail_seiner_com.pem | cat -etv
    grep '^-' /etc/ssl/localkeys/mail.seiner.com/mail.seiner.com.key | cat -etv


so others can help you look.
