I just noticed that our emails are not encrypted when sent. At least that's what Gmail is saying. So, What do I do to encrypt our emails being sent out?

    I'm afraid something is not adding up. I am interested in parameters starting smtp_ and not smtpd_ and the command does not show them. It should show some as you say you can see smtp_use_tls set so the grep should have found it. Or is smtp_use_tls commented out?

    [edit]
    Rather than doing screenshots as jpg's, if you use PuTTy, just selecting text from the window copies it from the terminal. (right-clicking pastes into PuTTy). You can then paste the output between code tags (the piece of paper Icon with a <> on it),

    Hi,

    I ran the command on the terminal through SSH, nothing showed up. However, I took out the underscore and it listed all the features starting with stmp as show below.

    You would have to add smtp_tls_security_level, but up to your post I was using "smtp_use_tls = yes" without a problem.

    What do you get from:
    postconf -n | grep smtp_

    Hi Nick,

    Thank you for your reply. I did look into /etc/postfix/main.cf file and I don't see smtp_tls_security_level option in the file. However, I do see smtp_use_tls option set to yes. Can I add this option in the main.cf file just like you have? Just wondering. Thanks.

    Google "postfix encrypt e-mail" and see what you get. I have set "smtp_use_tls = yes" but looking at this I may do better to have "smtp_tls_security_level = may".
