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

[Ivancas]

Affected version

2.3.0 beta1

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:

The choices are the same, the terminology has been updated:

Fixed Thread 'Incorrect phrasing of mail encryption'

Feb 11, 2024

Xenforo is using the following phrases for email encryption:

• None
• TLS
• SSL

Looking at the mail standards, we have STARTTLS and SSL/TLS.
I think Xenforo uses TLS as STARTTLS and SSL as SSL/TLS.
Just a side note: STARTTLS would be less secure than SSL/TLS, so it is important to use correct naming convention.

The list should be:

• None
• STARTTLS
• SSL/TLS

2.3.0 beta 8 returns this error:


The error can't be reproduced on XF 2.2.15 so there isn't a misconfiguration.

I see, I think there is an issue with TLS in 2.3, but it is not directly related to the renaming of the options.

Well, I'm experiencing the same issue on XF 2.2.16 after updating from 2.2.14:


The same error can be reproduced no matter what port I connect to:

Was it working okay on 2.2.14?

This code didn't change between 2.2.14 and 2.2.16. So it's highly likely to be some other issue.
