Allow Encrypted No Auth SMTP

Technical Support

OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 22.04

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Decadeus”
v2.4.2, built 21/02/2023 11:49

Problem Description:

Cannot send email unauthenticated while using SSL. I am using IP address authentication on my Google Workspace account, so no auth is needed, but if I turn on SSL it seems that it tries to send authentication information no matter what, which fails because I haven’t entered any.

Debug Logs:

Steps to reproduce:

Actions taken to resolve so far:
seems to be a code oversight, so not much I can do. I have tested without SSL on port 25, and emails work beautifully.

Tested all available relay ports, 25, 465 and 587.

The stack trace unfortunately doesn’t tell me anything useful - all it tells me is that the SMTP server closed the connection, nothing about why. Leaving the username and password empty should be fine for this situation - but I’ve never tested unauthenticated SMTP.

I’ve made a minor change to explicitly not try and use any credentials if the username is empty, but don’t have a practical means of validating it so this is a blind change.

Hey thanks man, yeah I didn’t think it had anything useful either.

I’ll give it a shot and report back!

Appreciate your time!
