No idea. I looked at some of them:

That domain is trying to send you mails from various different aliases.
I did an NMAP run against them to see what ciphers they support, but
none of these domains responds to the NMAP polls.

Then take this one for example:

> Jun 18 08:27:08 smtp sendmail[21830]: ruleset=tls_server,
> arg1=SOFTWARE, relay=mxcluster-01.customer.mailwall.com,
> reject=403 4.7.0 TLS handshake failed.

That ought to work as they use ciphers that we support:

nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 465
mxcluster-01.customer.mailwall.com|grep TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 - strong
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA - strong
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 - strong
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA - strong

I guess there will always be a few that fall through the crack.
