          We're test-driving XMAIL Pro, on a Win2008-64Bit system, with SQL DB. Does this configuration supports the use of SSL/TLS?

 If the answer is yes, then:
 
 a.- how is this exactly achieved?
 b.- do I need to purchase a certificate for SSL/TLS encryption?
 
 Thx in advance!

          Sorry, but I was not clear in my original post. I'm looking to implement SSL/TLS for SMTP and POP protocols, not necessarily for email web access.

 It certainly does.

 This is described at this following documentation page.

 Yes, if you need a certificate signed by authority.

 |  Igor, thank you for your assistance. I was
 able to generate both a key and a certificate
 to use w/my mail server.
 
 Please be advised of the following though:
 
 a.- The pre-built version of the OpenSSL
 libraries and binary that are shipped with the
 application will only work on 32-Bit versions
 of Windows. I had to find the 64-Bit version
 of OpenSSL in order to make it work w/my
 setup. It'd be helpful if either both versions
 would be shipped w/the software, and, that the
 SSL setup page/link you provided me with,
 indicated/warned users about this. As well,
 you may want to update the page to also
 include the link to the OpenSSL code, which I
 found here:
 
 http://code.google.com/p/openssl-for-
 windows/downloads/list
 
 b.- The hyperlinks in the page you provided
 (the ones pointing to OpenSSL's setup
 instructions) are no longer valid, though that
 may be due to the fact that the links have
 changed in OpenSSL.org site.
 
 c.- I was able to determine that POP3-SSL
 connections are taking place, however, I'm
 having an issue accepting SMTP-TLS connections
 . The server is opening the connection
 channel, but not responding to the connecting
 party with the appropriate banner, thus the
 connection drops. I will troubleshoot a bit
 more on this, but I may need more assistance
 ;)
 
 Thank you however for all the help provided
 thus far. Looks like we will be purchasing the
 product, granted we can get SMTP-TLS to work
 correctly.

 The following steps should be taken to make this work:
 generate key and certificateplace those files (server.key, server.cert) under MailRootuncomment server.tab lines responsible for SSL support in XMail Server Pro:
| Code: 
 
    
    | 
      
       | #### SSL settings
 "SSLWantVerify"     "0"
 "SSLWantCert"     "1"
 "SSLAllowSelfSigned"     "1"
 "SSLUseCertsDir"     "1"
 "EnableCTRL-TLS"     "1"
 "EnableSMTP-TLS"     "1"
 "EnablePOP3-TLS"     "1"
 |  |  | restart the service to apply changes
