Sep 30, 2025Hello,
As per my knowledge -
- 25 β 587 (TLS) directly = not possible unless the client also speaks STARTTLS.
- 25 β 25 (both plaintext) = works.
- 465/25 (TLS) β 25 (plaintext) = works with an SSL profile (offload).
- 25 (plaintext) β 587 (TLS) with protocol translation = not supported.
