Asked by arturorejon
I have this seetings in the .env file of greenlight in my bigbluebutton server
ALLOW_MAIL_NOTIFICATIONS=true
SMTP_SERVER=.company.mail SMTP_PORT=587 SMTP_DOMAIN=company.mail SMTP_USERNAME=@company.mail SMTP_PASSWORD=*** SMTP_AUTH=plain SMTP_STARTTLS_AUTO=true
SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE=none
SMTP_SENDER=***@company.mail
SMTP_TEST_RECIPIENT=myemail@of.course
Yes, the email works as SMTP, I use it in another service and it works fine with the correct password and the same settings
But when I run this command
docker run --rm --env-file .env bigbluebutton/greenlight:v2 bundle exec rake conf:check
The output prompts
Checking environment: Passed
Checking Connection: Passed
Checking Secret: Passed
Checking SMTP connection: Failed
Error connecting to SMTP - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: wrong version number
I have no idea of what is wrong with it
Thank you in advance

Well, a partner told me something that I could read correctly because of the dark blue in the vi comments. The error was that I was using this
The comment of the line above is
So, my SMTP needed to use STARTTLS port 587 and that line was messing it all. Once commented, it all worked
Heya,
You can check the following steps in this guide to configure greenlight.
https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/greenlight/v3/install/
Keep in mind that SMTP is disabled by default for new accounts.

Update
I found that some people got this fixed using this code
But that’s not my case, everything us updated and the message prompts the same error
