How does one enable TLS encryption between two SMTP servers? The only KB
article closest to what I need (829721) mentions how to enable TLS encryptio
n
for a specific remote domain in Exchange Server. What I need is to know is
how to do it from an SMTP server to another SMTP server, nothing to do with
Exchange.

I have Exchange inside, then a mail gateway (MS IIS/SMTP) server, then
Internet. I want to be able to encrypt from mail gateway to a specific remot
e
server. I assume now I can check TLS encryption on the Outbound Security
dialog of the remote domain for outbound but do I install the certificate in
IIS or specifically on the virtual SMTP server and use the Access tab to
check Basic authentication and Requires TLS encryption?

Hi,

I believe that you would do this by installing a certificate on the remote
host, and have the remote host require TLS for mail received by it.

The other option (enabling TLS on outbound connections) would result in your
server attempting to use TLS for all outbound mail. And the second option
mentioned (access control settings) would be for mail servers connecting to
your server to deliver mail.

Cheers
Ken
