PHP 7.x and POP/IMAP SSL

    I ran the PHP compatibility checker, Postie was the only plugin that threw warnings:
    216 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4
    218 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode_exec_dir’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4
    279 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4
    1435 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4

    Also, on this particular site the SSL doesn’t work for either pop or imap. Non-ssl works, which is sortof ok if poor practice since the mail server is also the web server.

    Connect to Mail Host
    Postie connection: sockets
    Postie protocol: pop3-ssl
    Postie server: mail.(redacted).com
    Postie port: 995
    pConnection: mailbox: INBOX
    Connecting via Socket
    Socket: tls://mail.(redacted).com:995
    Socket error: 0 –
    Unable to connect. The server said:
    There was an error connecting to the server
    Test complete

    I did have the web server on php 5.6, updated it to 7.1, but it’s still broke.

    I checked the postie-wont-connect-mailserver faq, the openssl commands work fine, both imap and pop. That at least assures me that the server isn’t blocking those ports from localhost.

    from php info:

    openssl
    OpenSSL support enabled
    OpenSSL Library Version OpenSSL 1.0.2q 20 Nov 2018
    OpenSSL Header Version OpenSSL 1.0.2q 20 Nov 2018
    Openssl default config /opt/cpanel/ea-openssl/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
    Directive Local Value Master Value
    openssl.cafile no value no value
    openssl.capath no value no value

    re: PHP compatibility checker

    Wordpress and thus Postie supports PHP 5.4-7.1 due to that support there are a couple of places where PHP versions are checked and version specific commands are issued.

    re: SSL

    when you did the openssl commands test were you on the same computer as your web server?
