Since some clients may not fall back to plain text after a TLS Just the anonymous TLS ciphers, which are not supported by typical SMTPĬlients. Supports configurations with no certificates. Or similar software, it will only negotiate TLS ciphersuites thatįor servers that are not public Internet MX hosts, Postfix Self-signed certificate, but unless the client is running Postfix The remote SMTP client will generally not be able to verify the To most clients, a self-signed or private-CA signed certificate. Well-known public CA must still generate, and be prepared to present
Public Internet MX hosts without certificates signed by a This access restriction applies to the key file only, and theĬertificate file may be "world-readable". The certificate and private key may be in the sameįile, in which case the certificate file should be owned by "root" and Private key must not be encrypted, meaning: the key must be accessible In order to use TLS, the Postfix SMTP server generally needsĪ certificate and a private key. Miscellaneous server controls Server-side certificate and private.Enabling TLS in the Postfix SMTP server.Server-side forward-secrecy configuration.These use TLS in the same manner as smtpd(8). Not shown in the figure are the tlsproxy(8) server and the Generator (PRNG) that seeds the TLS engines in the smtpd(8) serverĪnd smtp(8) client processes, and maintains the TLS session key The tlsmgr(8) server maintains the pseudo-random number The smtp(8) client implements the SMTP (and LMTP) over TLS The smtpd(8) server implements the SMTP over TLS server The diagram below shows the main elements of the Postfix TLSĪrchitecture and their relationships.
