#TOTEMO HOST SOFTWARE#
In the EAC (Exchange Admin Center) navigate to Mail Flow > Send Connectors. The Swiss software company totemo ag offers solutions for the secure exchange of business information. **Note** Even if you're already using something like SpamTitan as your smart host on your current Send Connectors, I find it cleaner to create a dedicated connector for TLS - this way you can manage the domains requiring TLS without affecting your regular mailflow. We'll need to create a special Send Connector on Exchange to use the SpamTitan as a Smart Host. So, I decided to use the SpamTitan for outgoing TLS connections and it works perfectly!
But it uses the "encrypt" button in Outlook to make users feel better, which adds complexity and results in help tickets.daily. I was forced by company higher-ups to use it, going against my recommendations because it's not good practice to send and receive through different hosts/IPs - Totemo doesn't receive mail and it doesn't work very runs on Java, which should tell you all you need to know. My short review on that product: It's garbage. In my environment, we receive messages through a SpamTitan filter (which is awesome), but we send out through a Totemo encryption gateway.ever heard of it? Didn't think so. Since most organizations do use some sort of outgoing appliance (like SpamTitan), this post will walk you through setting up Forced TLS from Exchange on out through that gateway. If you're sending directly from Exchange and not using a spam filter (which probably isn't very common these days) you would just set up a Partner Send Connector and be done - except for assigning a cert to the connector, which is pretty tricky. On top of TLS, most banks are now also requiring that the sending host use a public certificate to verify "you are who you say you are" - this is generally done with SPF records, but security requirements are getting more stringent. The growing trend nowadays, especially when sending messages to banks, is to use Forced TLS (also called Mandatory TLS).
