If you think AES512 isn't secure enough for your data you should not be hosting your mail server out of your network.....

Also, if you have a way to break AES512 I know some people who'd pay a killing to get that information. No litterally there's people who'd kill for that.

AES512 isn't a thing. AES uses 128, 192 or 256-bit keys.

Since there is no such thing as AES512, 'breaking' it isn't that hard...
