New Outgoing Mail Server Issue: Can't connect using SSL

Product Discussion Feature Requests
1

Hello,

I am unable to get a new email address to work for outgoing notifications. Here are the error messages:

[INFO] Try email through connection #0
[ERROR] sig_alrm: Timeout (14)!!!
[INFO] Try email through connection #1
[ERROR] Can’t connect using SSL
[INFO] Try email through connection #2
[ERROR] Can’t connect using SSL
[INFO] Try email through connection #0
[ERROR] sig_alrm: Timeout (14)!!!

The SSL settings are correct and here is all the mail server information I am using:

• Server Name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes (If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.)
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, “[email protected]”, not “test")
• Password: Your iCloud password

Test messages with this configuration via a mail client go through fine. I have also tried the default SSL port of 465 without any success. Any suggestions?

Peace,
Dr. Z.

Currently, our Email Notification supports SSL only. But, smtp.mail.me.com supports only STARTTLS, therefore, at this moment, you have to use another SMTP server such as Gmail’s SMTP for Email Notification.

Thanks for looking into this issue for me. If you haven’t already, could you please put support for STARTTLS email on future Peplink software revisions? Here is why…

I have a home/business that basically “talks” to me via text and emails, all from one email account. My Peplink router is just one of the many devices that is coordinated under home automation and security. Sure, opening up a free Gmail account just for Peplink has now been done, but isn’t as efficient as having all operations updates come through one channel.

More microchips than sense,
Dr. Z.

i have asked about TLS support as well. it needs to be done ASAP.

I have researched this issue and Peplink has known about people’s frustration with the Peplink products not supporting STARTTLS for a very long time (google the issue and you will see). PLEASE implement STARTTLS support for Email notification.

Why has this not been implanted thus far?

There is no plan on this sadly.
