    Hi

    I’m trying to connect to a mail server, but the test fails with:

    
2020-12-23 16:55:16 Connection failed. Error #2: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): 
SSL operation failed with code 1. 
OpenSSL Error messages:error:1425F102:SSL routines:ssl_choose_client_version:unsupported protocol 
[/var/www/webpa/wp-includes/PHPMailer/SMTP.php line 426]

SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

    It looks like the server accepts only “old” TLS, is there any way to tell the plugin to accept them too?

  • Hi @duttoluca,

    Please share the full debug log. Here’s a screenshot for the option to get a full error log after sending the test email.

    It looks like you’re using an unsupported protocol. Make sure you’re using TLS encryption with port 587 or SSL with 465. The plugin uses whatever version of TLS is configured on your server.

    Thanks!

    Hi @duttoluca,

    Thanks for the details. It looks like your server does not support the required TLS version and therefore cannot establish the connection. Unfortunately, we don’t have any control over this and you’ll need to contact your server support to fix the problem.

    Please note that disabling SSL verification is not recommended – it’s compromising your security.

    Thanks!
