@pichalite that was it. It's a bit confusing... Maybe the private option for specific groups should be grayed out if the general option for allowing private groups is disabled, to make this clearer.

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 newsletter email 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_CERT

According to this:
https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/issues/314

I 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.

@baris I installed NodeBB on a debian server just yesterday (cloned nodebb 0.9 branch) and I cannot make groups private. Tried unsetting ande re-setting the private option in ACP, still no-go. The group says private in the frontend but people can still join freely.
