Support for SMTP over TLS (STARTTLS)

Solution:
For TLS: $config['smtp_crypto'] = 'tls';
For SSL: $config['smtp_crypto'] = 'ssl';

Tested it today and it works great![/quote]

I'm running into this issue now. Has this config variable been confirmed? I'm still having trouble over all with getting Freeform (and by extension email sent through the Communicate tab in the CP) and I'm just trying to eliminate things like this so their Exchange Server admin can stop blaming EE and start looking into this from his end. I did have to hack the CI email library to overwrite the port (587 instead of 25) and I had to change the newline and crlf variables to /r/n instead of just /n. Anything else I might have missed? Any other changed to the CI email library that need to be made? Other hidden config variables that need to be set?[/quote]

Stubear, which version of Codeigniter are you running? The port and new line can be set in the config and do not need to be edited in the core files at all.

I've put an example of how I'm accomplishing the TLS on this pastebin link http://pastebin.com/pu9YiMfL

I hope this helps
