I've seen this bug with some SMTP vendors.

Could be related to this: https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer/issues/165#issuecomment-20733858

@joshmedeski Can you also try to set SMTP_SECURE: false?

[joshmedeski]

That fixed it. I may change the port numbers and turn SMTP_SECURE back to true.

@elitan that was also the error message that we received. Not finished with testing / fixing, works for some mails, but some users receive the mail now in their spam folder. Will try to provide clearer picture.
