Enabling TLS for use with an SMTP server

[MisterVector]

So I've been trying to fix my e-mail system, which is going to use outlook's SMTP server, but the problem is that it requires TLS to use, and I can't find where I can enable that in the admin panel. I'm using SMF 2.0.8.

iirc, putting tls:// or ssl:// in front of the mail server address (in SMTP settings) should make it work. As long as you also use the correct port, of course.

I get errors like these in the error log after. The same thing happened for tls:// as well

Could not connect to SMTP host: 0 :

2: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

2: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://smtp-mail.outlook.com:587 (Unknown error)

2: fsockopen(): Failed to enable crypto

try use port 465 instead off 587

tls:// use port 587 (you tried ssl:// which is indeed 465, but doesn't work with outlook afaik)

I assume you meant ssl:// doesn't work with outlook. Would that apply to TLS as well? I suppose I can try with another e-mail service if this doesn't work.

well other thing can be that the php libraries are maybe not compiled with php openssl for example should be enabled in streaming features/featured in phpinfo don't recall it exactly ..
don't know what outlook actually is using for port, if you say its that port i'm oke with it ...

seen alot of different configurations which been everywhere ..
and have seen different configurations and ports on the error you described ... all details for your config in this case is crucial if you want to fix it !!

[MisterVector]

Sorry about that! Alright, these are my mail settings:

Mail Type: SMTP
Server: tls://smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 587
Username and password shouldn't matter, I know they're correct!

When I omitted the tls:// in the past, this error message showed up:

530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first


Oddly enough, I just went to my error page and noticed one of the errors for the above address was:

2: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number


Perhaps my SSL isn't up to date with what should be?
