Securing mail exchange on SMTP
Since more and more email-servers require secured mail exchange, it seems to me that SMTP on VMS needs to be set up for that. However, I cannot locate documentation on how to secure sending mail from SMTP to another mail server. At least, screening the VSI documentation on the subject didn't show me anything on the issue. Can anyone point me to documentation and on what is required? (Currently on Alpha (VMS 8.2-2L1, community license)). No real need for receiving mail because I use a front-end for that and the documentation of this covers the issue.

Re: Securing mail exchange on SMTP
TCP/IP V5.7ECO5 (+latest patches) and TCP/IP X6.0 do not include features to support sending mail through SMTP servers requiring authentication and encryption.

Reply to that topic if your application or product requires extending OpenVMS to support sending mail through SMTP servers requiring authentication and encryption.
