I uploaded my old .pinerc file and am now getting the TLS error again

There was an SSL/TLS failure for the server

                                                            mail.trilug.org

The reason for the failure was

                                                        SSL negotiation failed

This is just an informational message. With the current setup, SSL/TLS will not 
work. If this error re-occurs every time you run Alpine, your current setup is 
not compatible with the configuration of your mail server. You may want to add 
the option

                                                                /notls

to the name of the mail server you are attempting to access. In other words, 
wherever you see the characters

                                                            mail.trilug.org

in your configuration, replace those characters with

                                                         mail.trilug.org/notls

Type RETURN to continue.

Now I just need the TLS error fixed.

Thanks
