Hey n8n-community, Any way to enable n8n to accept a self-signed cert for smtp/tls? (or fall back to plain old smtp) just stared out with n8n. Atm. n8n is running as a container in my lab-setup, which consists of several vm’s & containers in a sealed-off virtual network. Now- when I want t use the send-email node, this fails because n8n doesn’t like the self-signed cert of my postfix-vm Before digging though n8n - any solution here? ArgH. ---

Hey @ArgH, Welcome to the community 🎉 In the Send Email node at the bottom there is an Options section, In there you should find the Ignore SSL Issues option which should sort this one out. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/7/6/7657a724a4ba6ae93567d6536998f081c3b44656.png) ---
