BfStop don't handle phpmailer exception

[pgizest]

Hello,

I'm currently migrating to joomla4. For that, i have a VM (locally) in which I know i'm not able to send mail (with phpmailer or sendmail). When i log in frontend, when i'm in joomla 3.10, in case of bad user/password, i've got a message indicating that mail doesn't work (see first attached file) However, when doing the same in joomla 4, i've got an exception in php mailer. And when i disable the bfstop plugin, i don't have the problem.

I tried to use a more recent template (cassiopae), but it's the same

Thanks for the report. it shouldn't be that bfstop exposes such information (as to whether mail sending works or not); I will try to reproduce the problem and get back to you in the next days!

Maybe it helps as a workaround to just disable any mail notification from within bfstop's plugin settings?

Yes i can disable the notification, but it's important to know which of my user failed to login (this is old person that i know, not very familiar with computer)

You would still have the failed login attempts listed in the backend; and I meant you can disable it only for the test system; this would in any case only be a temporary workaround, and generally such an error shouldn't happen (/be shown in the public-facing UI).

First looked into J3 code and there it seemed more or less impossible, since messages were automatically enqueued on sending errors.

But this has been changed and improved in J4. A fix is now in the main branches of plugin and component. Joomla 3 will still report those messages directly from Joomla's phpmailer wrapper though (and no details on the error will be available to bfstop itself).
