Q:
How to configure E-mail alerts for SSL VMWare virtual center
VMware, VMWare Virtual Center, Virtual Center SMTP Settings, SMTP Configuration, SSL VMware Virtual Center, SSL
My corporate mail server requires all connections use SSL. How can I configure my Virtual Center's SMTP settings to make use of port 443? I cannot find any detailed documentation for SMTP configuration. My VC is v2.5 update 3.

Currently there is no way to configure this in VirtualCenter. You can't specify a custom port and you can't use SSL and authentication for SMTP. What you will have to do as a workaround is send alarms using SNMP forwarding to a system that can receive them and then send an email. You can also try setting up a SMTP forwarder using IIS where you can send the alerts to from your VC server on port 25 which could then forward them using SSL to your email servers.
