Fixed SMTP mail not sending using TLS

[Mouth]

This would resolve a lot of problems in having to use SMTP with many 3rd party mailers ...

Thread 'Add support for using Symfony Mail's native 3rd Party Transport functionality'

Jun 12, 2024

Symfony Mail has native support for directly using a 3rd party transport API such as SES, Azure, Mandrill, Mailgun, Postmark, Sendgrid etc. I'd like to see XF allow and support this functionality within it's usage of Symfony Mail.

@Chris D can you please share the code modifications for XF 2.2.16?
I'm facing the same issue on that version:

 

[Chris D]

The mailer on XF 2.3 and XF 2.2 is different so the fix here only applies to XF 2.3. That version exclusively had a bug in the code but that bug does not exist in XF 2.2.

I think there is some bug of the same sort (check my latest post, don't pay attention to the title):

Not a bug - SSL SMTP encryption is forced, there is no choice.

SSL is forced: The encryption doesn't allow you to choose TLS: Whereas XF 2.2.15 has the choice: This causes services like PostMarkApp can't be used because TLS is the only available encryption:

I don't think this has been fixed.
This is the error I'm getting:

[Jeremy P]

Do you have STARTTLS or SSL/TLS selected in your mail options? And are you using port 465?

If your mail server does not support SSL/TLS (not all do) then you'll want to use an alternative port as that one is typically for SSL/TLS only. In that case you'll very likely want to use port 587 with STARTTLS.

 

[Ferry]

We have the same problem. Emails stopped being sent when we upgraded to 2.3. We have tried 3 different SMTP providers, (with TLS enabled and disabled), the built-in PHP system, but none of this works.

 

[Jeremy P]

You can open a new thread in the troubleshooting forum with the exact details of the errors you're getting for further support.

 

[Baby Community]

The Baby Community Server is hosted by hetzner. Since Hetzner closed emails as a policy, emails were not going. I preferred the corporate mail system. I recommend namecheap as corporate mail. Also, it is a good thing that mail is banned. If there was no ban, I would have to change the IP of the Baby Community site every 6 months. If you run the mail system on your own server, your site will appear as spam after a while.
