In my case the problem was solved by deleting the line  prop put  mail smtp starttls enable    true      It may be because of some ssl configuration errors on email server  I m not sure  Email server administrators never admit it and always blame hosting provider

I got similar problem when default SSL protocol for sending emails was set to TLSv1 and smtp server was not supporting this protocol anymore  Trick was to use newer protocol  mail smtp ssl protocols TLSv1 2

User · Answer

Yes  it works for me on localhost  props put  quot mail smtp ssl trust quot    quot smtp gmail com quot     The error is only thrown on localhost  so you should try on remote servers too  Usually  it is the snippet of code mentioned above that works well without ssl trust property
