mail_connection_type

Synopsis

mail_connection_type = connType

connType is one of DEFAULT, SSL, or TLS, which describes the connection type to the SMTP email server pointed to by mail_host. Setting this to DEFAULT tells the system that it should use the SMTP default port 25 (overridable by mail_port), which is conventionally unencrypted and thus insecure.

Example

mail_connection_type = TLS
