20.2 Securing E-Mail Transfer

When you install Novell Teaming, you can choose whether or not the Teaming internal mail host uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) when it communicates with other SMTP mail hosts. For more information, see Inbound E-Mail Security in Basic Installation in the Novell Teaming 2.0 Installation Guide.

If your Teaming site needs to send e-mail messages to an e-mail system that requires secure SMTP (SMTPS), the Teaming site must have the same type of public-key certificate as is required for secure LDAP (LDAPS). If you have not already set up secure LDAP for your Teaming site, you can follow the instructions in Section 20.1, Securing LDAP Synchronization to set up secure SMTP for communications with your e-mail system.
