I hope it’s ok to bump instead of creating a new topic. My host only has smtps (465/ssl) available and I can’t seem to get it to work.

```
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: mail.myprovider.com
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 465 # smtps/ssl
# DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: login@mydomain.com
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: "PASSWORD"
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS: false # (optional, default true)

```

These settings work in Thunderbird. Is smtps not supported or am I doing something wrong? Maybe I need to connect to `mail.mydomain.com` where a valid ssl cert is installed?
