Ssl Smtp

[scrapper]

Hi,
I would like to configure zimbra to use SSL with smtp.

I uncommented this line in the master.cf file:
smtps inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

but am not sure if there is anything else that needs to be done.


Thanks,

Welcome to the forums.

What's wrong with TLS, which Zimbra uses for SMTP connections.

[scrapper]

In order to send Mac mail through the Internet internally as well as to be able to send email externally only if authenticated and using SSL.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. Are you saying that mac mail doesn't support TLS or that TLS isn't as secure as SSL?

[scrapper]

Yes, TSL doesn't work with Mac mail.

I also don't understand why you've made the changes you outlined in your first post, you only need to enable SSL fo port 25 for a secure connection. As far as I know (which is next to nothing as far as mac software is concerned), mac mail will handle the connection OK.

I was following these instructions to enable smtp/ssl by configuring an additional port (standard smtp ssl port 465) in the Zimbra postfix config.

The instructions in the wiki are for _additional_ ports, the default port 25 accepts SLL connections. I use SSL with my own server and with another Zimbra server, they are both port 25 connections via ssl.
