Synology problem sending email notification

[chasajau]

Hi all

Since I updated to DSM 6 I tried several times sending email notifications without success. I always got the error "Failed to connect to mail server" and thought the problem is my providers setup. But maybe it isn't, hopefully somebody can tell me if it is a bug or still a config issue.

To get more information about the answer from my provider I added the following line in the exception (line 86, emailer.py) to get debug log:

Code: Select all

logging.debug(errorcode[0])

got this output:

Code: Select all

2016-09-22 16:55:06,671::DEBUG::[emailer:77] Connecting to server xxx:465
2016-09-22 16:55:06,751::DEBUG::[emailer:86] 'module' object has no attribute 'SSLFakeSocket'
2016-09-22 16:55:06,751::DEBUG::[emailer:91] Non-SSL mail server detected reconnecting to server xxx:465

Is it possible that some python init function fails in ssmtplib.py?

Setup:
Synology DSM: DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 1
Python: 2.7.11-15
Sabnzbd: 1.1.0-17
Email Provider: SMTP over SSL

It looks like there is a problem with the Python (and OpenSSL) libs of the DSM.
Nothing we can solve, I'm afraid.
You could try to use a non-SSL port (119 normally).

Ok, so I will be patient and wait for a fix.

Thank you
