No, nothing to do with certificates, it's at the protocol negotiation
stage that it fails, long before any certificates are exchanged.

Anyway, there is a bug in some versions of Evo (hence why you need to
give the Evo version) in which the wrong protocol is selected.  It can
be worked around by using STARTTLS instead of SSL to a dedicated port.
