Hi Mark, I've looked at the pull request you sent previously and I was left scratching my head. However, I guess you are right that mail servers can require TLS without requiring authentication. For traceability reasons, could you please enter a bug report for this issue? -- http://twitter.com/ceki On 23/09/2011 8:30 PM, Mark Woon wrote:

Ceki,

In SMTPAppender, the TLS property is tied to the auth property and it shouldn't be. Mail servers can require TLS without requiring authentication. I've put in a pull request on github that removes the auth requirement if you enable TLS.

For future reference, is the pull request sufficient, or do I need to open an issue, send email to the mailing list, etc?

Thanks, -Mark
