Input Making sure Postfix TLS capabilities are communicated

Daniel Slyman

Basic Pleskian
Hey guys,

so while testing my mailserver I discovered that postfix was not communicating its TLS capabilities to other receiving mail servers. I discovered this while sending an email to my gmail account, see attached image.

I of course don't know whether this is an isolated incident restricted to my setup, but by simply checking the presence of, or adding

smtp_tls_security_level = may
smtpd_tls_security_level = may

in

/etc/postfix/main.cf (for me on line 679)


will solve this problem, if you are running postfix as your SMTP server and if you actually secured postfix with a certificate - which can easily be done and is well documented.

Official documentation: Postfix TLS Support


Greetings,
Daniel
