TLS (Transport Layer Security) support

Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides certificate-based authentication and encrypted sessions. An encrypted session protects the information that is transmitted with SMTP mail. When you activate TLS, Proxmox automatically generates a new self signed certificate for you.
Proxmox Mail Gateway uses opportunistic TLS encryption. The SMTP transaction is encrypted if the STARTTLS ESMTP feature is supported by the server. Otherwise, messages are sent in the clear.
