When configuring a Certificate based SMTP relay connector in Exchange as per this article: How to set up a multifunction device or application to send email using Microsoft 365 or Office 365 ...

 

Is there any way to specify a certificate in the email accounts configuration settings in ServiceNow or are we limited to the IP address option for the connector?

ServiceNow does not support client certificate configuration for outbound email. SMTP relay is limited to IP-based allow listing or basic authentication, so certificate-based handling must be done outside ServiceNow.

Hi, thanks for the response. This is basically the answer I received from ServiceNow as well. Do you have any documentation references or sources for the answer?
