We're trying to connect our hosted exchange account to our ProductCart mail settings.
One of the requirements from our echange provider is TLS enabled.  (some devices can use SSL).
I don't see this as an option in Product Cart 4.6.  Any suggestions?

In our data center we have a requirement to enforce SMTP authentication for all outbound mail traffic.  When a client has their mail hosted at an outside service such as Google, we find it difficult to authenticate against them.  So we established a strategy as follows:

Initial assumptions:
 - Let's say we are talking about a site called mypcstore.com
 - Mail services for mypcstore.com are turned off locally (via the hosting control panel) since mail is hosted elsewhere.
 - DNS entries point correctly to wherever the mail is
 - mail for order confirmations is to be sent to orders@mypcstore.com 

So we do this:

 - create confirmations.mypcstore.com subdomain, activating mail services for that subdomain
 - create a locally hosted mail account orders@confirmations.mypcstore.com
 - configure orders@confirmations.mypcstore.com to forward (and then delete from the local inbox) any mail that is received to that address.  The mail is forwarded to orders@mypcstore.com.
 - configure the store to use orders@confirmations.mypcstore.com as the SMTP authentication


You could use a similar strategy.  Have the store send from the local server using such a strategy, while all other mail comes and goes via your exchange account.
