Having an issue with TLS connections.

Why is this connection rejected?

This does not appear to be the complete logs as it should indicate ICID close or lost to show connection was closed or terminated.

 

Over TLS, I've observed connections being closed abruptly if the sender is unable to verify the certificate applied to the ESA's inbound listener. You can validate this by setting up a packet capture on the ESA for the sender IP and having them send a couple of test emails.

 

Alternatively, you can also verify your inbound TLS certificate for the receiving domain using websites such as checktls.com.

I have now turned off TLS.
Some connections still have the same error.
I have no idea what that can be !!

Hello,

 

I do not see any errors above. Can you provide the error(s) you're seeing that lead you to believe connections are being rejected?

 

Thanks
