Enable TLS on smtp.aa.net.uk: Difference between revisions
[[File:SMTP-TLS.svg|none|frame|Enabling TLS is the connection between you and the AAISP email server.]]
 
It usis useful to know that enabling TLS in your email program only affects how you send email to our servers. Once we have received your email we will then send it onwards to the recipients email server. Where possible our servers will also use TLS but if the recipient server does not support TLS then the email will be sent without any encryption.
 
Enabling TLS is different from encrypting your actual message. TLS will encrypt the data between you and the AAISP mail servers - hiding the metadata and so on. If you want to ensure only the recipient can read your message then this can be done by encrypting the message with PGP or S/MIME.
