TLS in Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi

I want to secure my outgoing e-mails that I send out with a single send connector from HUB to a smarthost.
I am using basic authentication over TLS on to this connector, but what does this give me in security, authenticating my server when sending?

Do I need to use S/mime to be able to encrypt the messages between my server to the smarthost.

The smarthost has open ports for SMTP with 'Start TLS': 25
SSL-port: 465.

Connector config

Since your Exchange and mailhost are windows machines, you can encrypt all data between them, this is a fast and secure way cipher all data: http://www.derekseaman.com/2010/06/enable-tls-12-aes-256-and-sha-256-in.html

Hi

sorry if I confused you, the smarthost is not a Windows machine and I can't change settings on it.

Can you explain what my current Exchange config gives me?

regards
Magnus

As long as I get SSL from my server to the smarthost that is fine.
