Missing TLS encryption for outgoing mail

Post by deajan »

Hello,

When sending outgoing emails, gmail said my messages weren't encrypted.
After some investigations, it looks like e-F-a does indeed accept TLS, but does not try STARTTLS when sending messages.

After adding

Code: Select all

smtp_tls_security_level = may
to main.cfg, google didn't complain anymore.

Just a question, isn't this supposed to be the default behavior ?

Best regards.

Just to clarify a couple of things:

There is already the setting

Code: Select all

smtpd_tls_security_level = may
which is for the smtp daemon, receiver side.
Setting

Code: Select all

smtp_tls_security_level = may
for the sender process wasn't present.

'm using letsencrypt with e-F-a, but AFAIK the script behind letsencrypt does not add that code to main.cf
