site cetificates for scan to e-mail

[portviking]

I was hoping to be able to get a customer to be able to scan to G-mail. After trying all the tricks I called up Tech Support. They informed me that we will not be able to set up SSL for G-mail, Yahoo, Go Daddy or AT&T etc. Due to the fact that the NIST has mandated that all root certificates that use 1024-bit keys be moved to 2048/3072-bit keys. Of course our equiptment does not support this yet. Tech support is "working" on it and has no time line when it will be ready. I was able to confirm this on Google's online security blog. This all started last year around july. So if you have customers that are having the hit/miss when it comes to scan to e-mail... this is the cause of it...not our equiptment

What is the model(s) of the equipment. If you are sending to gmail, if can use their non-SSL SMTP server aspmx.l.google.com on port 25. The only set back is that you can only send to other gmail accounts. The other option is to use a software such as Stunnel.

it was on an mpc3501 and the customer e-mail base is not limited to G-mail. AS for Stunnel it would have to be updated with the recent security updates. Thanks for the suggestions.
