Setting up an testing our shiny new server and Free SM16.x build  (whatever the current one is)....
Interfacing, or attempting to interface to outbound SM15.x gateway...
Receive this error:
16:28:30.730 [26000] Exception: The handshake failed due to an unexpected packet format.
   at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartReadFrame(Byte[] buffer, Int32 readBytes, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)

Not sure what that means, or what I need to do resolve.
The current outbound gate-way is being used by the prod box as well.. so new test server and prod server using the same outbound gateway.. Is that the problem?

Hello Merle, I believe these issues might be stemming from mismatched SSL/TLS versions between the servers. Can you try running IIS Crypto from Nartac Software, hit the Best Practices button and then give the servers a reboot and try again? Please let me know if that helps. Have a great day!
