Yeah that patch works fine if I set the certpath = "" in the config, and
I even added that path to our packages.

I read the mailing list after following the google trail and replied to
that specific message without realising a more recent patch was
available and then didn't post a followup saying the final patch worked
- my bad!

Sorry about that, and thanks to everyone for the final patch :)

Isn't that what the final patch committed under Ram's name
implements?

sendemail.smtpsslcertpath::
   Path to ca-certificates (either a directory or a single file).
   Set it to an empty string to disable certificate verification.

or have we missed your use case?

For what it's worth, after upgrading here, I got this error at the
server side:

Jul 26 10:15:41 foo.example.com postfix/smtpd[7736]: warning: TLS
library problem: 7736:error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1
alert unknown ca:s3_pkt.c:1256:SSL alert number 48:


This is because my postfix doesn't have a ca bundle configured but all
other mail clients have been fine before.

With the original patch here I could continue.

I'd really love to see an option to set this to none in the .gitconfig,
but agree with the principle that it should be one by default and the
setting should over ride that.

All the best

Col

PS I'm mainly posting this such that people searching the intertubes for
the postfix error above and git-send-email will match at least this
message and find the fix/workaround :)

"We" as "the Git developers", yes. But your change makes sure users are
_not_ aware about it. There's a long history of software ignoring SSL
certificates by default, I don't think we should cast in stone that we
don't want SSL certificate verification.

It defaulted to SSL_VERIFY_NONE before Net::SMTP::SSL was updated, and
the behavior hasn't changed now.  The new version simply asks us to be
explicit about SSL_VERIFY_NONE, so we are aware about it.

Nothing scary about it: it eats up real estate, and that is annoying.
I personally couldn't care less about ca_file, since all my emails are
to public mailing lists anyway.  Work on specifying a proper ca_file
as a follow-up, if you so desire.

I don't think this is really "fix", it's more plastering over the
problem.  As the message from OpenSSL says, specifying this means that
we're explicitly saying that we don't want to check the server
certificate which loses half of the security of SSL.

I'd rather leave this as it is (complete with the big scary error
message) and eventually fix it properly by letting the user specify the
ca_file or ca_path.  Perhaps we can even set a sensible default,
although I expect this needs to be platform-specific.

[PATCH] send-email: squelch warning from Net::SMTP::SSL

2013-07-05 Thread Ramkumar Ramachandra
Due to a recent change in the Net::SMTP::SSL module, send-email emits
the following ugly warning everytime a email is sent via SSL:

***
 Using the default of SSL_verify_mode of SSL_VERIFY_NONE for client
 is deprecated! Please set SSL_verify_mode to SSL_VERIFY_PEER
 together with SSL_ca_file|SSL_ca_path for verification.
 If you really don't want to verify the certificate and keep the
 connection open to Man-In-The-Middle attacks please set
 SSL_verify_mode explicitly to SSL_VERIFY_NONE in your application.
***

Fix this by explicitly specifying SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE in
Net::SMTP::SSL->start_SSL().
