Using MAILTOOL Plus on V7R1, or Any OS Using TLS 1.1 or Older

Posted: 01/27/2022, 08:15:18

I recently had a customer running V7R1 tell me that the Office 365 email servers were complaining that his system needed to use TLS v1.2 or higher. Because he was on an older IBM i OS version, this wasn't an option.

He did find this article from Microsoft explaining how to connect to their servers using Legacy TLS (v1.1 or older):

The customer has confirmed that the fix does work.
