[SMTPS] Unable to send email with port 465 STARTTLS option

1

Hi everyone,

Seeking for some advice on SMTPS settings in dreamfactory, I’m having some issue implementing SSL into mail server settings with dreamfactory

Environment

  • Dreamfactory 2.12.0 running on docker container
  • HmailServer running as proxy to external aws mail server.

SMTP Service running as below settings:

Error from postman:

  1. Set encrpytion as empty
    Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "noreply@****.com"using 1 possible authenticators
  2. Set encryption as tls
    stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL: Success
  3. Set encryption as ssl
    Connection could not be established with host 172.**.***.**
  4. Set encryption as tls/ssl
    Connection could not be established with host 172.**.***.** [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution

other application calling to the same hmail server had no problem sending out email, and only dreamfactory have this problem with SMTPS. I have also tested with non SSL hmail are working prefectly.

Hmail settings

  • STARTTLS (required) with ssl

Hello @foomx.

I recommend starting here- https://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Tutorials/Sending_Email#Provisioning_an_Email_Service. Also as a reference, have a look here as well - https://docs.bitnami.com/bch/apps/dreamfactory/configuration/configure-smtp/

DreamFactory has released a new and improved version which I encourage you to try. Here is the link - https://bitnami.com/stack/dreamfactory

Let us know if this helps.
Thanks
