Hi
I have been googling for the better part of the last two hours without finding any conclusion.
My mails are not being sent from the production webserver. If I stop/start the Virtual SMTP I get this in the event log:
No usable TLS server certificate for SMTP virtual server instance '1' could be found. TLS will be disabled for this virtual-server.
We recently updated the webapplication running and I assume something went amiss during that. Googling the message straight up gave me a list that just as well could have been in greek.
I found a security certificate on the server, installing that gave no change. I basicly played russian roulette with the certificate file (.cer), though I was somewhat certain it would not have a negative effect. (Russian roulette with a 6 chamber gun and 2 bullets.) I found a .pfx in our local documentation folder, though I'm far from certain that to have a positive effect. (6 chambers and 5 bullets).
I found a site describing how the Virtual SMTP - Properties - Access - should have a button saying Certificates. I have a text saying "Did not find any TLS certificates" and a grayed out tick box saying "Require TLS certificate". I found the TLS being SSL ver3.1+ (3.1-3.3).
So question goes - How do I enable the SMTP to once again send emails, like before.
