Hey Pat,

currently both organizations are set up with tls and it is working. What I have been asked is if 1 side does not encrypt or if tls fails for whatever reason will mail still be sent? We do not want it to. I guess the real question is can tls or encryption ever fail? Thanks for the help.

Require TLS means it won't go if a TLS session can't be established. Both sides should configure that option, understanding the ramifications.

Sniper - that is what I am looking for. Where is that setting located on exchange 2003. Is there also a setting that says to not accept any emails without tls encryption? - that would be the other side of that setup.

The link I supplied should tell you everything you need to know.
