Re: Exchange 2003 and Encryption for outbound email

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



There is no encryption by default between Exchange and external SMTP servers controlled by others. You can enable encryption on your Exchange server but if it's not setup for the same on the other end of the connection, you won't get mail flowing. The example where you might use this is if you had another Exchange server you control out on the internet somewhere else that you wanted to secure communications between.

I wanted to know if Exchange, by default, encrypts outbound email or does
that require some sort of additional encryption and/or some type of 3rd party
service? I saw some stuff on the SMTP Virtual server about adding a a
certificate, and then checking Requires Secure Channel (and 128bit encryption
if you want) on the Access tab.

I did configure a certificate, but when I enabled the "requires secure
channel" and 128bit encryption, I got the following error when I tried
sending an email from my gmail account (to test incoming mail):

530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

If these options are configured and implemented on the Access tab, will
others have problems when trying to send to us?

Thanks!

Sara
