Bug description
If
app.mailer.smtp_insecure
is set tofalse
in the config, Frontier is unable to send emails, and we get the following error:tls: either ServerName or InsecureSkipVerify must be specified in the tls.Config
.When
app.mailer.smtp_insecure
is set totrue
, there is no such error. However, in this mode, TLS is susceptible to main-in-the-middle attacks.Expected behaviour
Clients should be able to configure
app.mailer.smtp_insecure
tofalse
, as this is the recommended setting when sending mails in production environments.Solution
tls
module expects aServerName
ifInsecureSkipVerify
is set to false (Reference to source code). Without that, it raises the error:tls: either ServerName or InsecureSkipVerify must be specified in the tls.Config
.ServerName
andInsecureSkipVerify
can be found in the tls documentation.ServerName
in thetlsConfig
, irrespective of the value ofInsecureSkipVerify
