Honestly, lately I HATE the way Manager.IO handles SMTP Settings. After the upgrades it drops SSL Errors, TLS Errors.

Without proper authentication, SMTP clients can send emails without verifying the sender’s identity, leading to impersonation, phishing, or spam. While this can be true for a fully “Misconfigured” SMTP Server, IP Based ACL’s also prevent what you are talking about here without the need for authen…
