  • tls email

    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF 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:

    that could be it. maybe it's just sending me the wrong error msg.

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

    yeah i know, i was just hoping it would do something for outgoing if i had it all toggled.

    i also got an error when i sent deuce his yearly merry xmas email
    this is gmail to bbsdev.net:

    "TLS Negotiation failed: FAILED_PRECONDITION: starttls error (71): 126058292137920:error:10000410:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE:third_party/openssl/bor ingssl/src/ssl/tls_record.cc:592:SSL alert number 40 ;126058292137920:error:1000009a:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:HANDSHAKE_FAILURE_ON_CLIENT_HELLO:third_party/openssl /boringssl/src/ssl/handshake.cc:654:"
