Enabling in-place hold and litigation hold in Dynamics 365 Finance does not directly ensure that secure SMTP settings are used for sending emails.

In-place hold and litigation hold are features that allow you to preserve mailbox content and prevent it from being deleted or modified during legal or regulatory investigations. These features are not related to SMTP settings, which are used to configure the email server and ensure that email communication is secure.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a standard communication protocol used for sending and receiving email messages over the internet. To ensure that email communication is secure, SMTP settings should be properly configured to use encryption and authentication mechanisms, such as SSL/TLS and SMTP authentication.

To configure secure SMTP settings in Dynamics 365 Finance, you need to go to the Email parameters page and enter the required information, such as the SMTP server name, port number, and authentication credentials. You can also select the encryption method, such as SSL/TLS, and enable or disable various security features, such as message signing and encryption.

In summary, enabling in-place hold and litigation hold in Dynamics 365 Finance does not ensure that secure SMTP settings are used for sending email. To ensure secure email communication, you need to configure the SMTP settings correctly, using the appropriate encryption and authentication mechanisms.
