[SOLVED] Mail not sent was created by mew

No matter what I did, Joomla sent all mails correctly and CB did not. There's a lot of threads trying to deal with this.
I finally found the missing line in SMTP handling. My host was configured as localhost without security or authentication.

In the file:

Code:

/libraries/CBLib/CB/LegacyComProfilerFunctions.php

Find and adjust the lines to clear a single value, which otherwise remains default "1", and blocks proper SMTP working in my case.

Code:

..
			if  ( $smtpsecure === 'tls' && substr( $mail->Host, 0, 6 ) !== 'tls://' ) {
				$mail->Host		=	'tls://' . $mail->Host;
			} else {
			  $mail->SMTPAutoTLS = false;  /* THIS ELSE BLOCK WAS REQUIRED */
			}
..

That's an ok solution for a localhost usecase where you need to send non-secured SMTP emails from localhost. Otherwise that turns off STARTTLS usage permanently. I'm a bit concerned your host has no security or authentication for SMTP. Maybe they're just forcing it to sendmail or PHPMailer in which case you shouldn't need to configure SMTP at all, but change the mailer type.
