  • HI nitass, thank you for your replay

     

    I wonder if the traffic sent to the SMTPS port is treated at the SSL Hardware

     

    BR,

    i understand sol13213 does still apply.

      Thank you for the link, however it does not tell me that the flow is treated IN HTTPS (TLS 443) -> SSL Offloading: ok I would have an answer for: HTTPS / IMAPS / POPS / SMTPS. thank you in advance

      i think sol13213 does not mention anything about https, does it?

  • The article is protocol-agnostic. It's strictly talking about SSL, which would apply to ANY protocol that layers SSL (HTTPS/IMAPS/POPS/SMTPS/etc.).
