Thank you, is there a way to activate encryption for all email notifications?

I found this answer from 7 years ago explaining Opportunistic TLS, is this what Docusign is doing now? any changes in the future?:

Opportunistic TLS is the solution for optimal use of encryption. In a nutshell: the sending server attempts to send email encrypted, but if the receiving server won't accept encrypted messages then the mail is sent unencrypted.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching back.

Actually, if the recipient doesn't have TLS, the envelope won't be sent, and the sender will receive an email informing him of that. That was an update that happened a couple of months ago. Please view the following article regarding the error that the sender will receive if the recipient doesn't have TLS and how to solve it: https://support.docusign.com/s/articles/Envelopes-with-Delivery-Failure-TLS-is-required-but-was-not-offered-by-host?language=en_US
