[NFBCS] Certificate cannot be verified.

[Buddy Brannan]

Well, that’s not a fix, it’s a band-aid. You now have gotten rid of the SSL certificate requirement, but you’ve replaced it by sending your email unencrypted, in the clear. As you are no doubt aware, email protocols haven’t changed since the 19790s and all the commands are in human readable text. Which means easy to intercept. Not at all secure. I mean, if that’s OK with you, OK, but turning off the encrypted data stream is hardly a fix to the problem.
