I tried adding 'smtp_tls_security_level = may' & 'smtpd_tls_security_level = may' to my existing configuration, but it didn't helped. > Any ideas what else I might need to change in the configuration? > > Here is how my configuration looks like > > #ENCRYPTION > #==========# > # Incoming > smtpd_tls_auth_only = no > smtpd_note_starttls_offer = yes > smtpd_use_tls = yes > smtpd_tls_security_level = may > smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key > smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt > smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem > smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 > smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s > smtpd_tls_received_header = yes > tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom > > # Outgoing > smtp_use_tls = yes > smtp_tls_loglevel = 1 > smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes > smtp_tls_security_level = may > > Regards, > KRiSHNA > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos It is also possible to configure postfix so that it uses TLS but does not announce the availability of STARTTLS. If somebody did this on your system you would have "smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes" somewhere in your master.cf file, something like this. /etc/postfix/master.cf: smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes Nataraj
