I've been using SSL connections all week long on this box.

The logs in postgresql are actually saying the opposite.  the connection is
being made as an SSL and the client can't support it.  I'm trying to downgrade
the connection to a nossl connection if I can't do anything else.

As for local sockets -- not supported by this particular client (postfix).
