RE: [IMail Forum] Force Encrypted Authentication on SMTP

[Nadon, Jason]

I should have also mentioned - I did see the post about forcing on port 587 a bit ago, I'm just wondering if anyone is using this successfully with people that are connecting with Outlook / OE clients?   Does the forcing have to happen at the client end?   We have 2800+ accounts and I'm dreading telling our customers that they'll all need to check the use SSL checkboxes in their Outlook clients,  is that the only way?   Thanks again.   -Jason From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nadon, Jason Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 3:36 PM To: 'IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com' Subject: [IMail Forum] Force Encrypted Authentication on SMTP   Hi All,   Is there any way to force the use of a secure method of encryption when authenticating SMTP traffic? I've just updated to IMail 8.20   We're running Qualys reports and get the following:   Your SMTP server specifies PLAIN or LOGIN as available authentication methods. The authentication credentials are transmitted in plain text over the network and no encryption is performed.   I know that I can enable SSL/TLS, but is there a way to force it, or not allow plain text to be passed?   Thanks in advance for your help!   JASON NADON User Services - Web Administrator Creative Solutions | A Thomson Company 800.968.0600 x3636 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   "workin' more web than Spider-Man"
