Office 365 SSL error

[sbaitz]

Hi,

Was hoping to use this emailer plugin for our site to have emails pipe through Office 365. Once setting it up and testing sending an email (sending a user validation email in NodeBB), we see the error in the attached screenshot

Doing a quick search on this error resulted in this article (hopefully it helps): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29812132/error-sending-email-using-nodemailer-via-office365-smtp-meanjs-scaffold

Thanks,

I 've met the same problem, because of errors, I have to close the email confirmation.

Mine uses aliyun ISP.

It is the problem of underlying dependencies, so you'd better not use this plugin, and use nodebb-plugin-emailer-local instead.

Hi,

I encountered the same problem this morning and was able to solve it. In my case I was trying to use a non-secured SMTP server but was getting error messages mentioning SSL.

I haven't tested this properly (and can't easily) so I'm not submitting an update myself but it worked in my case.

On line 34 of index.js, I changed
secure: settings['emailer:local:secure'],
to
secure: (settings['emailer:local:secure'] !== "off"),

I hope this helps others.

Regards,

I can confirm @DVR-Ltd 's fix works (tested on a self-hosted Postfix SMTP SSL server)
