Hi there
I'm trying to use my own mail server to send messages to my users.
On my production Nextcloud (v.25 and Debian 11) it works flawlessly but not on my testing Nextcloud (v.28 and Debian 12).
My mail server log returns:
**SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert unknown ca**
But on both Nextcloud servers I'm using Let's Encrypt.
I even downgraded the OpenSSL version on Debian 12 to the same version (1.1.1n).
I've tried with Gmail (it works with app password) and with another custom mail server, a brazilian company like Hostgator (doesn't work with the same behaviour but for this one I don't have access to logs).
So, I'm kinda stuck here since I cannot use Google; the whole idea is to get rid of it, right :wink:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
