      Does pfsense thinks it's going to relay and use credentials for host.domain and that's just that?

      Dono if it thinks ☺

      What I do know, is that when your postfix setup is instructed to ask for STARTTLS, pfSense will act on it.
      As you can see, my postfix is sending a "250 STARTTLS" as a possible option.
      Yours does the same ?

      which appears at worst to send out email via cleartext on the wire

      Yep, right.
      That's why '587' or STARTTLS and all that is phasing out.
      It '465' and SSL right away these days.
      Up to you to make that happening, by setting up postfix the right way.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

            To no-one.

            Was replying to your

            at worst to send out email via cleartext ...

            and I agree.

            So go pure SSL == 465.
            Right ? (You're in command)

              I asked a question regarding STARTTLS support in pfsense, Not if I should change my mailserver host's config

              STARTTLS is not going anywhere, it is not been depreciated

              the notifications implementation appears to be broken?

                I'm using it right now :

                fc1703b1-3324-4de5-b940-6bd3d07e58b0-image.png

                After sending a test : mail - server side logs :

                Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-mail.*******.me

Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-SIZE 31457280
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-VRFY
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-ETRN
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-STARTTLS
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250-8BITMIME
Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: > mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: 250 DSN

                As you can see, my mail server sends out it's capabilities.
                Among them, there is "STARTSSL".

                Because the mailing system of pfSense scans the capabilities, and it found STARTSSL, it issues a STARTTLS

                Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: < mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: STARTTLS
...

                The TCP connection is renegotiated as an SSL connection, the entire process start over, this time encrypted.
                Mail caps are send again (except STRTSSL, because SSL that mode is activated now) and the LOGIN starts :

                Nov  5 12:27:33 ns311465 postfix/smtpd[29808]: < mail.****.me[2001:470:1f12:xxxx::2]: AUTH LOGIN
.....

                Btw : my postfix settings for this domain, protocol submission (port 587) :

                mail.*******.me:submission      inet    n       -       -       -       -       smtpd -v
  -o myhostname=mail.*****.me
  -o smtp_helo_name=mail.*****.me
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=may
  -o smtpd_etrn_restrictions=reject
  -o smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/*****.me/*****.me.pem
  -o smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/****.me/*****.me.pem
  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
  -o content_filter=amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10026
  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

                The important part is the

                smtpd_tls_security_level=may

                setting which activated STARTSSL capabilities.

                When I have some time, I could show you the same thing using gmail's mail server, also proposing submission with SSL (STARTSSL). In that case, I won't have access to the mail servers logs ;)

                @Oclair said in email Notification login credentials not yet implimented?:

                Not if I should change my mailserver host's config

                You and I use the same "pfSense". Right ?
                There are no settings on the pfSense side, except the usual mail server address and port.
                What do you want me to say ?
                Let's be neutral : when both sides agree, mail communication will use STARTSSL.

                Another proof :
                My Outlook 2010 mail client settings
                7ae3552a-7723-4466-9acb-11b4e57d1f0e-image.png

                As you can see, it uses "587" (submission) and the TLS (STARTTLS). Outlook can send mails just fine, doing the same thing as pfSense does.

                Outlook 365 and Outlook 2016 : same result.

                    Serious ?
                    The answer showed up the moment you posted :

                    eda9ceda-e56b-4bc5-82a2-6dc9cb19e429-image.png

                    Btw : the image above isn't acutal any more.
                    'submission' is phasing out.
                    It's all port 465 now, or smtps.
                    The protocol setting for 'smtps' connections can be set to "Auto" as Outlook 365 will figure it out.
