Re: Enabling TLS encryption

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Your vendor will send you the credentials to use.
Yes, sending credentials by email in plain text is a security risk, not generally recommended.
Once you have the credentials, create a SMTP Connector (for *) if you don't already have one, add the vendor-provided smarthost fqdn/ip address, and credentials.

I'm trying to follow my vendors instruction to enable a secure email.
Accordign to their instruction i have basic authentication and TLS
encryption. What username and password do I enter? Should this just be a
user with administrator rights? It says password information will be sent in
plain text wouldn't this be a security risk? I'm basically forwarding the
email to another server to send out so the smarthost points to this server.
