Description

Since upgrading to 2.0.0 (also verified today on 2.0.1, and svn trunk) the smtp configuration settings for TLS encryption is somewhat broken, as notified by [1].

If a smtp server is configured with both "tls: true" and "enable_starttls_auto: true", this error occurs when trying to send mail:

An error occurred while sending mail (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol)

This type of configuration is also the suggested method for configuring gmail in the redmine documentation [2].

As a workaround found by [1], you can remove the "tls: true" part of the configuration, while leaving in "enable_starttls_auto: true". I can also confirm that this workaround works for me, to make gmail & redmine working.

Confirmed that using only enable_starttls_auto: true fixes the issue.

Agreed with the above comment. I had email notifications working fine in Redmine 1.x but on upgrading to 2.x (actually 2.3.2.stable) the GMail notification email relay is not working. I have tried a bunch of different configuration settings and have not been able to get the right combination. Here is my current config:

default:
  email_delivery:
    delivery_method: :smtp
    smtp_settings:
      enable_starttls_auto: true
      address: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      port: 587
      domain: "smtp.gmail.com" 
      authentication: :plain
      user_name: "MyGMailAccount@gmail.com" 
      password: "areallyhardpassword"

When I had tls: true in there I would get An error occurred while sending mail (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol) but without the tls: true I get An error occurred while sending mail (530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. fy7sm9145396qeb.1 - gsmtp ).

Are there further items that I should check to make sure I have everything required on my system/environment? What is the best way to debug/test this to get down to the nitty gritty details and pinpoint my problem? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
