SMTP TLS or SSL not working
« on: May 14, 2020, 01:10:28 PM »
Hello,

I have tried to connect my email on gmail, but gmail can't connect through TLS or SSL ports, I. had to use no certificate and connect it on port 25, until then it worked. However, I would like to know how can I connect it normally with TLS or SSL.

My hostname is set and I have A records for it. I have also installed certificate and it should be working fine.

Gmail is tempermental to say the least.  I have to connect via TLS to the hostname, as google doesn't not send the "Servername" with the connections for SANS to work.

I even tried to do this by connecting smtp in wordpress, but I still can't I had to do it through port 25. Do you have any idea or suggestion on how to fix this?

Also another issue, the email sending through smtp is really slow, but when I send directly from roundcloud, then its faster

Make sure the firewall is open.  As for slow sending, roindcube uses phpmail, whole clients have to route through postfix.  Bit it shouldn't take too long unless there is an issue.

I can see the port 465 is listed in TCP IN, but not in OUT. Could that be the issue?

What else should i check in the firewall?

What "mail servers" are you using?  Hostname, or mail.domain.com

So you "Hostname" is panel.domain.com?

In my example:
Hostname: server3.schaffner.org
domain: schaffner.org
in gmail, I can't use mail.schaffner.org, as GM doesn't forward a "ServerName" request.  I have to use server3.schaffner.org as both incoming and outgoing, as postfix's default ssl certificate (NON SANS) is the hostname cert

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect panel.uxiology.com:995
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect panel.uxiology.com:465

check the output of the above 2 commands.   Specifically look at the Cert Name info

 Verify return code: 18 (self signed certificate)

Can't be self signed with Crapgle.

Goto "Change Hostname" and make sure autossl is selected to get a cert from LetsEncrypt

I have checked the return code and it says (0)

I also checked the page in hostname and it shows every checkbox is selected, you can see the image below.

As for lets encrypt certificates, I'm seeing the following:

grep "Error" /root/.acme.sh/cwp_certs/acme.sh.log

grep "panel.uxiology.com" /root/.acme.sh/cwp_certs/acme.sh.log
