Email security options allow the use of strong encryption when communicating with the (SMTP) mail server.
Security options
Available encryption options:
- STARTTLS – Implicit encryption which allows a non-encrypted connection to be upgraded to an encrypted connection. [1]
- SSL/TLS – Explicit encryption which is to be used with servers which expect the entire communication to be encrypted from the start. []
Default SMTP ports:
| Security option | Default port |
|---|---|
| None | 25 |
| STARTTLS | 25 |
| SSL/TLS | 465 |
Note: You should confirm the correct settings with your email service provider because they could be using a non-default configuration.
