Encryption

Specifies if encryption should be used.

• NONE: Credentials and email are sent in clear text.
• TLS: TLS encryption is used. After connection the STARTTLS command is used to upgrade the communication channel to TLS. This only works if the SMTP server has a trusted certificate (if the server uses a self-signed certificate it must be exported and imported into the JVM's truststore using the keytool utility)
• SMTPS: SMTP over SSL. A secure channel of communication is established, over which the credentials and email is sent. This is rarely supported by SMTP servers, but will work even if the servers certificate is self-signed.
