b3129 emails - self-signed certificates

[freddie]

From user mdlawler:

I have a self signed certificate so of course i'll get this error. There should be a way for Cumulus MX to accept this since it is still somewhat common for mail servers that care about encryption, but still accept self signed certs and that it says that the email was sent ok, but obviously it wasn't.

[mcrossley]

By default self signed certs are not accepted, I'd have to add some custom code to work around that.

[freddie]

Okay, I'll pass that on.

[mcrossley]

The other solution of course is to add the cert to trusted roots store, then it will validate.

[freddie]

True.
There shouldn't have been a message to say the email was sent though?

[mcrossley]

Yeah, the sent ok message only appears on the test email process, I'll fix it for the next release.
