• tls email

    From MRO@mro@BBSESINF.remove-1pf-this to digitalman on Thu Dec 26 23:53:30 2024

    So I am unable to send email to gmail now.
    it gives me an error msg that I am not sending via tls.

    in scfg i have the tls port enabled for smtp; port 465
    for sendmail i use direct mail delivery.

    I keep getting this error from gmail, is there something else I need to configure?

    I an running 3.19b.
    I sent a test email from vert to one of my gmail accounts and it works on vert.

    thanks,

    Are you sure it's not for lack of a SPF record for your hostname? That's the more common issue sending to gmail.

    in scfg i have the tls port enabled for smtp; port 465

    That setting is for *incoming* SMTPS connections, has no impact on mail delivery.

    for sendmail i use direct mail delivery.

    The Synchronet sendmail thread always attempts SMTPS/STARTTLS first.

    I keep getting this error from gmail, is there something else I need to configure?

    What is the error exactly?

    I an running 3.19b.
    I sent a test email from vert to one of my gmail accounts and it works on vert.

    Vertrauen has an SPF record:
    $ host -t txt vert.synchro.net
    vert.synchro.net descriptive text "v=spf1 mx a -all"

    You can have one too:
