Hey benjamin_gate, So a couple things to note in regards to your comment. 1. You can add custom iRules to be applied to the VS without disabling strict updates in the iApp by selecting advanced and then adding your iRules in the multichoice question labeled "Do you want to add any custom iRules to the SMTP virtual server?" 2. SSL Bridging as it currently stands in the iApp is meant to bridge tls on both client and server, where the server side tls is established directly (meaning no STARTTLS). This option is meant for the legacy port 465 (SMTPS) that establishes tls directly and does NOT use STARTTLS. The iApp currently does not bridge tls to a serverside port using tls by virtue of STARTTLS (25, 587). So the short answer is for port 25 you should select SSL offload and set up the SMTP server to not "require TLS" on the relay IP:port BIG-IP is using as pool members (at least when coming from BIG-IP).
