Meteor update 1.5.2 SMTP certificate has expired

hey,

I have an issue with sending emails since the latest update. Whenever I dispatch an email in my app, I’ll get his error:

=> Meteor server restarted

The smtp url is set by using the env var:

MAIL_URL='smtp://zenkom:password@192.168.15.170:25'

As you can see I’m not using TLS at all. The server is a Microsoft Exchange server.

Has anybody experience sending mails via Exchange? Or is there a way to debug this issue?

Are you sure your server isn’t enforcing TLS? I would guess so, as the error is thrown inside an TLSSocket.

Thank you for your reply

So the server can initiate a tls connection despite the connecting string does not contain “smtps://”? I will ask the exchange admin if he can make sure that all certificates used by the server are valid.

That’s how I interpreted the section in the upgrade guide. Not sure, though. I’m not an SMTP expert, either. Was just a guess.
