Sending mail through secure SMTP (ESMTP)

[hagarridoa]

OJS as configured in the parameters to send secure mail using ESMTP, if you wanted to use TLS or SSL.

Authentication mechanisms are currently supported OJS (PLAIN | LOGIN | CRAM-MD5 | DIGEST-MD5)

There is no such function in the SMTPMailer.inc.php

This is the current configuration of our server:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Email Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[email]
; Use SMTP for sending mail instead of mail()
smtp = On

; SMTP server settings
smtp_server = correo.urosario.edu.co
smtp_port = 587

; Enable SMTP authentication
; Supported mechanisms: PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, and DIGEST-MD5
smtp_auth = PLAIN
smtp_username = <usuario>
smtp_password = <contraseña >


I appreciate any help with this

Envío de corres a través de SMTP seguro (ESMTP)

Como se configura en OJS los parámetros para poder enviar correo seguro utilizando ESMTP, si se quisiera utilizar TLS o SSL.
Los mecanismos de autenticación que actualmente soporta OJS son (PLAIN | LOGIN | CRAM-MD5 | DIGEST-MD5)
No existe esta función en el archivo SMTPMailer.inc.php

Hi hagarridoa,

For TLS, you may be able to use PHP's tls:// wrapper. OJS uses the fsockopen function to connect to an SMTP server, so you can use the wrappers documented at http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/transports.inet.php. OJS does support at least some subset of ESMTP -- for example, the EHLO command. I don't have an environment in which to test this at the moment, so please report back.
