Did you get this to work?

I have identically config and same problem: firewall log tell me, server sends mail on the defined port, but I do not get mails.

I have the same issue: cronicle latest version SMTP credentials and settings are valid

` "email_from": "alarms@domain.com", "smtp_hostname": "mail.domain.com", "smtp_port": 25, "secret_key": "xxxx",

    "mail_options": {
    "secure": false,
    "auth": { "user": "alarms@domain.com", "pass": "xxxx" },
    "connectionTimeout": 10000,
    "greetingTimeout": 10000,
    "socketTimeout": 10000
    },

`

And the error is: Error: certificate has expired

OK, I fix the issue with error "Failed to send e-mail: Error: certificate has expired" I Just added: "tls": { "rejectUnauthorized": false },

{
        "base_app_url": "http://localhost:3012",
        "email_from": "alarms@domain.com",
        "smtp_hostname": "mail.domain.com",
        "smtp_port": 25,
        "secret_key": "xxx",

        "mail_options": {
        "secure": false,
        "debug": false,
        "port": 25,
        "tls": { "rejectUnauthorized": false },
        "auth": { "user": "alarms@domain.com", "pass": "xxx" },
        "connectionTimeout": 10000,
        "greetingTimeout": 10000,
        "socketTimeout": 10000
        },

        "log_dir": "logs",

@iovcho I'm glad you found a workaround, but please be VERY careful setting rejectUnauthorized:false. This is like unplugging your smoke alarm because the sound is hurting your ears. An expired certificate is a problem, and this setting is basically bypassing / ignoring it.

Without certificate validation, you could suffer from man-in-the-middle attacks, etc.

So anyway, just please proceed with extreme caution. You're running in "danger mode".
