Haraka: STARTTLS queue/smtp_forward though maybe smtp_client issue Not Working

Haraka version

Haraka.js — Version: 2.8.0-alpha.7

Expected behavior

smtp_client will issue a “STARTTLS” command when talking on port 587, and therefore work (i think) with amazon SES

Observed behavior

I noticed that the smtp_forward plugin doesn’t work with SES. I get the following error:
