Verint is trying to use SSL/TLS on the SMTP connection

We have upgraded to Community 13 from 12 and notice Verint is trying to start a TLS session to the SMTP relay, which it shouldn't. Configuration is specifically set to not do that. User emails are not going out/not being received. Our firewalls show connection to the internal mail relay from our production Verint servers, so it's trying to at least send emails.

Here are our SMTP settings, which shows TLS shouldn't try to start a session to the SMTP

Packet capture below shows the start of the SMTP session

220 XXXXXXXXXX.XXXXX.mail.mil ESMTP

EHLO XXX-XX-X-VJ1

250-XXXXXXXXXX.XXXXX.mail.mil
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 72351744
250 STARTTLS

STARTTLS

220 Go ahead with TLS

  • We had the same issue when upgrading to 12.1.3 where this change was introduced but not documented. Our support ticket (1308932 for those Verint employees watching) has been open since April 2023 pending any documentation update about this new requirement.

    Our only solution was to change our SMTP to accept the TLS. The tick box does nothing anymore.
