Enable TLS on smtp.aa.net.uk: Difference between revisions

lang="shell"
(lang="shell")
 
Typically, you can enable TLS with the following entries in your .muttrc:
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
set ssl_starttls=yes
set ssl_force_tls=yes
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 lang="shell">
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)
An email sent without TLS would look similar, but would not show any TLS information.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
Received: from andrew.ec.aa.net.uk ([2001:8b0:1:ec::8])
by smtp.aa.net.uk with esmtp
