#861 closed enhancement (fixed)

Use STARTTLS when sending emails

Description

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

Merged!

But stupidly, I merged it before realizing that there were those two things above that needed addressing!

I have attached a patch which adds documentation and unit tests to cover the addition of the force email_smtp_force_starttls option (renamed from email_smtp_force_tls to reduce ambiguity).

Ah yes, I probably should have named it that way in the first place. Good catch :)
