= Seeing TLS in action =
To test if TLS is actually working, you can send yourself an email then look at the [[Email Viewing Headers|headers]] and look for the Received lines showing the connection between your computer and smtp.aa.net.uk:

<syntaxhighlight>
Received: from andrew.ec.aa.net.uk ([2001:8b0:1:ec::8])
by smtp.aa.net.uk with esmtps (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128)
<syntaxhighlight>

Here you can see that TLS 1.2 was used with the ECDHE_RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:128 cipher.
