Email Server: Virtual domains and SSL requirements for encrypted SMTP

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi all

 

I'm setting up an email server which has multiple virtual domains.

 

What I'd like to know is the requirements for encrypted SMTP.

 

If I setup the DNS like this:

example.com MX 10 mail.example.com

example2.com MX 10 mail.example2.com

test.com MX 10 mail.test.com

 

Does this mean I'll need a valid certificate for both domains. i.e. two separate certificates or SAN certificate?

 

Alternatively, if set up the MX as follows would it make a difference:

example.com MX 10 mail.example.com

example2.com MX 10 mail.example.com

test.com MX 10 mail.example.com

 

If I set the MX for all domain to mail.example.com, will I just require a SSL certificate that's valid for mail.example.com?

 

Thank you in advance.
