When you receive this error:
OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
You can fix by using context options with function stream_socket_client (you can replace old function fsockopen)
$contextOptions= array('ssl' => array ( 'verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false, 'allow_self_signed' => true) ) ; $context = stream_context_create($contextOptions); $this->smtp_conn = stream_socket_client("{$host}:{$port}", $errno, $errstr, $tval, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);
Old code:
$this->smtp_conn = @fsockopen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $tval);
