Hi Colin,

Like Dudi said: This is a cert validation error. It looks like the Pear
class Mail.php always defaults to using TLS and if the certificate fails
validation, the sending of email fails.

Two ways around that: Get a real certificate (even a "Let's Encrypt"
cert might do).

Or: Disable TLS/SSL in PEAR::Mail.

See https://www.authsmtp.com/php-pear-mail/

That explains an edit somewhere near line 590 where TLS usage can be
turned off.
