Description Peter Wilmott (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-03-25 09:03:58 UTC 
It appears that dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0 parsed the SSL_Version passed to it differently to version 1.440.0. net-mail/sendEmail currently hard-codes  SSL_version => 'SSLv3 TLSv1' while in dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0 you should only pass a single version (plus versions to deny prefixed with :!). Since dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL assumes SSLv3 = TLSv1 then changing sendEmail to use SSL_version => 'SSLv3' resolved this issue.

Please see the IO::Socket::SSL docs for reference: http://search.cpan.org/~sullr/IO-Socket-SSL-1.84/lib/IO/Socket/SSL.pm

I have attached a patch for this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/bin/sendEmail -f test@test.com -xu username -xp p@ssw0rd  -s smtp.test.com:587 -u "Test" -t test@test.com
2.invalid SSL_version specified at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 389
Actual Results:  
Reading message body from STDIN because the '-m' option was not used.
If you are manually typing in a message:
  - First line must be received within 60 seconds.
  - End manual input with a CTRL-D on its own line.

Mar 25 07:59:12 systemname sendEmail[21148]: Message input complete.
invalid SSL_version specified at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 389

Expected Results:  
The output should have been "Mar 25 09:02:48 systemname sendEmail[7505]: Email was sent successfully!" and  test@test.com should have recieved an email with the subject "Test".

Patch attached.

Thank you for your contribution to Gentoo Linux Peter. I have taken maintainership of this apparently abandoned package so that I could apply your patch. This means further bug reports end up straight with me; please feel free to suggest further improvements that way.
