SID-02245: TWiki Email Configuration with SSL/TLS

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.2	Perl version:	5.22.1
Category:	CategoryEmail	Server OS:	Ubuntu 16.4	Last update:	9 years ago

Our mail admin has provided us with a email with following information :

SMTP server: subdomain.somedomain    
IP:   202.141.XX.XXX
Port:   465
Connection Security:   SSL/TLS
Authentication Method:   Normal Password
mail id :
mail Password :

And he told me I have to put all those information in Twiki for the email service to work. Now in Twiki Configuration I can see only the following input:

$TWiki::cfg{MailProgram} = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oi -oeq';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{MAILHOST} = ' ';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{SENDERHOST} = ' ';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Username} = ' ';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Password} = ' ';
$TWiki::cfg{RemoveImgInMailnotify} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{NotifyTopicName} = 'WebNotify';
$TWiki::cfg{SMTP}{Debug} = 0;

Now can any one please help me how can I go with the configuration as per twiki with the information provided to me. Hope I can make the question clear.

Discussion and Answer

TWiki does not yet support TLS for e-mail. There is a patch however: SMTPUseTLS.

Hi Peter

I am able to modify the Net.pm to support PORT with SSL/TLS. How can I register and share my patch ? Registration is blocked now a days.

One easy way to share the patch would be to attach it to this topic. In addition to the functional patch, I'm sure we should check and document the extra CPAN dependencies it creates.
