What happened?

Leaving the username and password fields blank in the email configuration result in an email error "Failed to verify SMTP connection configuration". Can you please allow us to send purely anonymous emails to our email server? I have my own email server/relay in this case.

What did you expect to happen?

Anonymous email relay

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Leave username and password fields blank in email configuration

Audiobookshelf version

2.26.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Other (list in "Additional Notes" box)

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None

Logs


Additional Notes

Unraid docker

Do you have any other logs/ more details?
What does your relay say etc.

Iirc there was at least one user that sucessfully had it working.

It's working.. this can be closed. Error on my part. Once I disabled "Reject unauthorized certificates" it's now working as expected.
