SMTP - disable SSL verification check

Hey, Quick and simple - Visit Settings -> Outgoing email. In there change Connection type from SSL to Unencrypted. You will probably have to use different port number too. 587 is usually the SSL, TLS one, unencrypted I would suggest 25 or 465

I wish it were that easy. The only option is 587 and STARTTLS. In other scenarios I was able to add something like this in the code and bypass the certificate check.

$mail->SMTPOptions = array( ‘ssl’ => array( ‘verify_peer’ => false, ‘verify_peer_name’ => false, ‘allow_self_signed’ => true ) );

Sorry I am confused. Are you saying EE is limiting your choices in the control panel? Or that the email provider is only permitting connections via 587 and StartTLS?

I am messing around with TLS versions now in the legacy email code, so might be able to have a look! N

Correct. My only option is to use 587 and STARTTLS.

I am going to be honest here - it all screams like a bad idea! You are basically saying I want to connect to a secure email server, but be insecure, with publicly submitted user/business information. So… my advice… do not do this. Do it properly, or use another mailserver.

That aside, I doubt EE would have built in options for a secure connection to be made insecure. So you will have to do it manually, in PHP: https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.ssl.php
