Public bug reported:
Mahara uses PHPMailer for sending emails. The default settings for
PHPMailer are to disallow mail sending (with TLS) if the server has
either a self signed certificate or if peer verification fails. This can
also occur when using port 25 if the mail server is configured to
require TLS to be started.
In these cases the following mail options will allow the mail to be sent
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
To allow Mahara to be used with an external mail server in this case it
is proposed to add the following configuration items:
smtpallowselfsigned (default: false)
smtpverifypeer (default: true)
And the above ssl mail options would be set with these new options.
