How to Send Mail With SSL

SSL stands for Secured Socket Layer. It is a common security certificate that is often used to protect and secure all communications flowing in and out of your exchange server. You may want to add SSL to your email to make sure that your messages are encrypted. This gives no room for intruders and spammers to hack into your messages. Note that you will need administrative permission to perform this task.
