PHP Warning: stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto?

Question

I'm using swiftMailer to send email using SMTP directly.

I get this strange error:

2011/09/23 17:59:01 [error] 489#0: *1032 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP Warning:  stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:

What does it mean? Thanks

is it a PHP bug? I'm using: PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: May 2 2011 23:00:17) — Dail, Sep 23 '11 at 17:13
try running the script from the command line, which'd bypass any lockdowns suhosin's done. — Marc B, Sep 23 '11 at 17:22
Allright, then probably something's munged with PHP's ssl support. — Marc B, Sep 23 '11 at 17:41
Verify that openssl is loaded and configured correctly on your server. — hakre, Sep 23 '11 at 17:46
Yes it is loaded correctly.... The MTA is on the same server...openssl works perfectly with it — Dail, Sep 23 '11 at 19:38

The "failure to enable crypto" means that it was unable to secure the connection - check to be sure that you are successfully passing a certificate, and that your passphrase is set correctly.

In my case, the issue was with my mac (OSX Sierra). I uploaded php and cert to my server, ran it, and the notification was delivered.

This error is quite typically that you have tried to contact an invalid port in my experience.

Try telnet mail.xxxxx.net 587, and if you do not get anything about an escape character then it is not the right port.

If you have access, examine the server config to see if you are trying to access a port which is not exposed for ssl streams. Try the telnet command again to probe other possible candidate ports
