More Information

For message delivery, Plutora uses Mailgun, which uses opportunistic TLS. Whenever Mailgun connects to an MX server, it tries to deliver messages over a secure TLS connection.

If the server doesn’t offer TLS or an error occurs while establishing the connection, such as an invalid certificate, Mailgun will still deliver the message but over an insecure plaintext SMTP connection.
