Answer:

(many thanks to a Chilkat customer for providing this info…)

If you have a Server creating the messages, to a different SMTP server.
And the SMTP server is relaying to an illegal Relay server like wrong port… For testing purpose… So emails not really are send out.

This is the error message that you get..
So I guess win2003 is doing some kind of validating of the certificate.

And this is the reason why you get the error..
