Hello

I need to setup TLS encryption between my incoming SMTP server (spam filter with encryption capabilities) and my parent company. I know how to do this within the server and application. My question is what type of certificate do I get? Is it a standard SSL certificate? or do I need to specify any additional certificate attributes for this to work?

Thanks for the help

A standard SSL certificate is fine in most cases. You don't mention what server solution you're using, though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm running a modusGate appliance from Vircom
