SMTP SSL setup

[kadoudal]

My SMTP server is running fine presently , but I going for more security using OpenSSL
I gave a try, modifying my vhost.conf with SSL , but obviously got an error as I need a certificate (should be ther by tomrrow)..
now I have a couple of questions regarding the SMTP settings in my application :
I'll choose the LOGIN authentication process , but I am not sure of login/pwd parameters to use in my smtp_settings, those of the site owner (used in Plesk Console) , a unique mail_master user created , or dynamically choosing the id/pwd of the logged user...

on a client mail app , it's easy : this is the site owner (used in Plesk console)

thanks for clarifying my mind ... and/or any related links

it is not clear what do you want. vhost.conf is apache configuration file, apache does not serve SMTP connections. this is qmail job.

sorry,
I just mentioned SSL , (running fine... now the cert installed), because emails are sent using it (when the cert is OK.. not auto-signed)...
my question was only about PLAIn or LOGIN authentication method, which one to use, and smtp parameters that my app should set up...
