The OpenSSL library used to secure TLS connections has changed significantly between 10.6.6 and 10.7.x which is why we are seeing the difference in the nature of MTA in processing the messages.
This is currently being investigated and would be fixed in SMG version 10.7.6. This article will be updated once the issue is fixed.
