Hello,

I was asking myself about the kind of connection used by a MTA to contact another one. For exemple, I know that we can setup in a MUA an SSL (or TLS) connection when configuring the SMTP connection. So the connection between the MUA and the MTA is encrypted.

But can we configure postfix in some way to ask by default an encrypted connection when sending mail to others MTA? Or maybe it already do it by default?

So we may have something like that :

MUA -----------> MTA -----------> MTA ------------> MUA
     encrypted        encrypted        encrypted

I know we can't guarantee that the entire flow will be encrypted because we only have control on our MTA.

But is it possible?

Thank you,
