title: Post-quantum key exchange for MX deployments
description: Cloudflare Email Security now supports post-quantum hybrid key exchange on inbound and outbound SMTP connections.
date: 2026-08-17T09:00:00Z

Cloudflare Email Security now supports post-quantum hybrid key exchange with X25519MLKEM768 on the SMTP connections we make to receive and deliver mail. Deploying Email Security in front of a provider that supports post-quantum hybrid key agreement (like Google Workspace) will create a TLS 1.3 connection using post-quantum key agreement.

Inbound MX connections and outbound delivery connections now negotiate the [X25519MLKEM768](/ssl/post-quantum-cryptography/#hybrid-key-agreement) hybrid key agreement when the peer supports it, protecting SMTP traffic against [harvest-now, decrypt-later](https://blog.cloudflare.com/pq-2024/) attacks.

Support is backwards compatible and enabled automatically for all customers. Senders and receivers that do not yet advertise post-quantum key agreement continue to connect with classical key exchange.

This applies to all Email Security packages:

- **Advantage**
- **Enterprise**
- **Enterprise + PhishGuard**
