Currently MediaGoblin only has the option of using plain SMTP or SMTP over SSL (which has deprecated for some time now). Using STARTTLS is completely unsupported.

These changes address this issue by attempting to use the STARTTLS command after EHLO/HELO. By default it will carry on as normal if STARTTLS command is unavailable, this can be changed by setting email_smtp_force_tls in the config.

Before this can be considered for merging there are two things that need to be taken care of:

• Unit test - I have no idea how to change email_smtp_force_tls at runtime, so I can't test this config option in both states.
• Documentation - I can't see where email_smtp_* are documented. In particular, settings email_smtp_use_ssl and email_smtp_force_tls might confuse users

Patches can be found on the "starttls" branch of this git repo: ​https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin-starttls/commits/starttls

As stated in #909, there are some tests that fail under Python 2.6. Until pytest is fixed we should skip these tests when we detect we're running Python 2.6.

The current output is:

./lazyserver.sh [-h] [-c filename.ini] [ARGS_to_paster ...]

   For example:
         ./lazyserver.sh -c fcgi.ini port_number=23371
     or: ./lazyserver.sh --server-name=fcgi --log-file=paste.log

   The configfile defaults to paste_local.ini,
   if that is readable, otherwise paste.ini.

However, port_number seems to be ignored completely:
