    Hello friends,

    I configured my SBG with SMTP forwarding (Authentication Source). Someone could tell me how I can download the certificate of SBG in Outlook 2003 and 2007 ..? The certificate is Self signed.

    Thanks.

    You cannot use a self-signed certificate for TLS.

    For successful TLS authentication, there must be a complete "path" or "chain" from the client certificate to a CA certificate. Additionally, both participants in the negotiation must recognize the signing authority. When the certificate is self-signed, there is no guarantee that the server connecting is who is says it is.
