Email Server setup - ssl / tls - issues

[mcdaniels]

Hi,
I am trying to set up my emailserver (at my hoster) in phpBB. I have tried every option, but Emails can not be sent (Using SMTP cause PHP-Mailer is not working).

The mailserver-smtp uses port 587 with TLS. So I set the server to:

tls://mailserver.provider.com
Port 587
Username: xxxx
Password: xxxx

I also tried:
ssl://mailserver.provider.com

and of course:
mailserver.provider.com

All other settings remain at the defaults.

There is not a single mail going out from phpBB cause of connection issues,

If I do not use tls:// or ssl:// there is no error logged, but emails are also not sent nor received at the receivers side.

Errors when using ssl:// tls://:

Code: Select all

Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188<br />
Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188<br />
Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): Unable to connect to tls://smtp.world4you.com:587 (Unknown error) at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188

and

Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188<br />
Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188<br />
Errno 2: stream_socket_client(): Unable to connect to ssl://smtp.world4you.com:587 (Unknown error) at [ROOT]/includes/functions_messenger.php line 1188

Is this problem situated at my provider, or is this an issue with phpBB?

Thanks a lot!

I’d go for the host.

I have the same problem with Hetzner / KonsoleH for SMTP-Server mail.your-server.de:587.

Does maybe updating phpBB help?

[Edit:]
Using STARTTLS (no tls:// or ssl:// in server address) on Port 587 did it. I've tried al other combinations of protocol and port before
