I recently setup SmarterMail 11.1 on a pc running windows 7 pro. &nbsp;Unencrypted pop &amp;&nbsp;smtp work fine but I want to secure communications so I purchased an ssl certificate. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;I found a program called SSL Tools that I used to import the certificate into the windows certificate store (I let windows decide where to store the certificate). &nbsp;When I use the tool to verify the certificate it says there was no certificate found.<br />
<br />
I followed the SmarterMail help file and went into settings:bindings:ports and setup ports 465,993 &amp;&nbsp;995 pointing each one to the certificate file, but nothing seems to work.<br />
<br />
I have seen references to a web server but we're not using one, this is for a mail server only.<br />
<br />
Could it be that we are using windows 7 pro and not windows server? (We only have 30 users so a server os didn't seem necessary)

Having trouble setting up an ssl certificate on our mailserver

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
