Yeah, but I've seen this before. The enfold mail server is configured to 
receive TLS mail but doesn't have a certificate installed, so it barfs:

You may wish to fix this ;-)

Absolutely, although if ZPT has anything to do with that at all, the 
content_type field should be split in two..

Ah, good, so we're in agreement ;-)

In any case, no-one has yet commented on why ZPT modes are incompatible, 
or if they did, I missed it. Can someone give me a pointer?
