SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) Configuration


EmailArchitect is a secure mail server which fully supports SSL/TLS. The following sections provide the information about SSL configurations.

Web SSL Mail

EmailArchitect Web Access is integrated with Microsoft IIS. Therefore, what you need to do is to set SSL certificate for IIS Website. After the certificate being set, you can access to Web Access under secure layer via: https://localhost/emailarchitect.

SMTP SSL/TLS

EmailArchitect SMTP Service supports both direct SSL connection and STARTTLS command; (default setting is disabled, you must enable it at "Web Access" -> SMTP Services)

POP3/IMAP4 SSL

EmailArchitect POP3/IMAP4 Service supports direct SSL connection.

EmailArchitect server installation package is provided with a testing SSL certificate. You can directly access SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 SSL service via Outlook or other email clients. Since the certificate provided is not published by a third-party authority, some warning messages will pop up on your email client, you can just ignore them.

If you want to use your SSL certificate, you can replace the current testing certificate as follow:

1. Exports your certificate with private key to a "*.pfx" file. 
2. Logon Web Access as system user -> Certificates.
3. Input your current *.pfx file full path and protection password and click OK.

Multiple Certificates

By default, SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 uses the same certificate, but you can bind the specified certificate to a specified IP address/Port by "Additional Certificates". Additional certificate format is: [ip address] [port]/[certificate path]/[certificate password], multiple certificates are separated by line-break.

For Example:
192.168.0.1 465/c:\program files\emailarchitect\cert\smtp.pfx/smtppasword
192.168.0.1 993/c:\program files\emailarchitect\cert\imap4.pfx/imap4pasword
