From an SSH connection to your server what output does the openssl version command produce?

 

[Marcus]

I use Ubuntu 24.04 (beta)

# openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.13 30 Jan 2024)

It's been fun getting 2.3B4 to work with the various operators I have been trying to switch to these days. More on that here. Brevo looks really fun to use if you have low mail volume (<300 per day is basically free).

SES does work for me with this setting: TLS with Port 2465. No other port worked for me with either TLS or SSL. This user says SES works for him with Port 465 on TLS.

I use port 587 (TLS) with hostname: email-smtp.[REGION].amazonaws.com:587. Worked the years before fine. Amazon SES is basically free, if you pay you will have such a high income the SES-fee does not matter at all.

 

[Chromaniac]

Yeah. I was also using the SES's default recommended port on 2.2 but I had to experiment a bit to get it working on 2.3 Beta and 2465 worked for me. And I still cannot get Zoho ZeptoMail to work on it . I mostly posted here coz you mentioned Beta 4. Xenforo made a switch something new called Symfony for email in 2.3.

Does XF 2.3 support Symphony's integration with 3rd party transports ( SES, Mailgun, Mandrill etc. ), or only it's built-in transports ( Sendmail, SMTP )? I'm not testing 2.3, so cannot see config options etc.

The admin error log reports stuff from src/vendor/symfony/mailer/Transport/Smtp/ so it uses Symphony's integration it seems. I have no idea how it actually works though.

Interesting that other ports work out. I have setup my server with only a few ports open, so I prefer to keep everything as standard as it gets. For security it helps using different ports like you do.
