Forum outbound mail not supporting TLS

Post by dwhitemv25 »

Hello,

It looks like mail from the forum's mail server, mail.cacti.net (23.166.80.13), does not support SMTP-over-TLS for outbound mail. Can this be enabled? It's 2023, most Internet mail servers support encryption, let's use it. It's easy to enable in Postfix.

It should probably be signing messages with DKIM as well, which will keep gmail from blocking your messages if your SPF policy gets messed up.

Thanks!

Confirmed it is working, at least to gmail:

Code: Select all

Received: from mail.cacti.net (mail.cacti.net. [23.166.80.13])
        by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id ....
        for <...@gmail.com>
        (version=TLS1_2 cipher=ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 bits=128/128);
