SMTP server with self signed certificate
-
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get nodebb-plugin-emailer-local-bobo to work with our organization's SMTP server, which has a self signed certificate.
I'm sending a newsletter to test and this is what I get in the logs:
20/2 02:46 [28703] - warn: [emailer.smtp] Unable to send
newsletteremail to uid 1!!
20/2 02:46 [28703] - error: [plugins] filter:email.send, DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
20/2 02:46 [28703] - info: [Newsletter] Finished email loop with error value: Error: DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERTAccording to this:
https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/issues/314I should be able to set
tls: {rejectUnauthorized: false},
somewhere in a config... but I'm new to nodebb and I'm at a loss as to where to look for such stuff outside the admin interface.
Any pointers will be more than welcome!
Cheers and congratulations for nodebb, great work.

found no solution to this. Ended up generating an externally generated certificate for the e-mail server.

I am in the same boat. I use a self signed certificate for outgoing mail and NodeBB is not allowing me to send any mails.

I have no good solution for this email problem but a solution of "self signed certificate" will be http://letsencrypt.org.
You can get a SSL certificate in quick and easy.Here is related discusstion.
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/use-on-non-web-servers/425/9
From this discussion, the letsencrypt can be used for POP, IMAP, SMTP beyond HTTPS. -
@qgp9 Well, I am in a situation here. I was testing things on a VPS and I created letsencrypt certificates multiple times. When things didn't work out as required I reinstalled the VPS , thereby losing the private keys. Now, I cannot issue any more certificates for my domain.
