Update to IO::Socket::SSL breaks sendEmail

[Peter Bance]

On Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise), I recently updated IO::Socket::SSL to the latest available version (1.74). It appears stricter syntax checking is now being applied to the SSL_version parameter to the start_SSL method, and the usage in sendEmail is incorrect. Line 1907 needs to be modifed from:

1907: if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version => 'SSLv3 TLSv1')) {

to something like:

1907: if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version => 'SSLv23:!SSLv2')) {

Note that the "SSLv23:!SSLv2" string is the default in IO::Socket::SSL, and inherently includes TLSv1. There may be better/alternative specifications that can be used, but the current string is syntactically invalid, which now causes IO::Socket::SSL to fail (previously, this would have been ignored).

I hope this helps.

Confirmed. I had to fix this as well, SSLv23:!SSLv2 makes it work.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
