-        Specify the encryption to use, either <em>ssl</em> or <em>tls</em>.  Any other

-        value reverts to plain SMTP.  Default is the value of

-        <code>sendemail.smtpEncryption</code>.

+        Specify in what way encrypting begins for the SMTP connection.

+        Valid values are <em>ssl</em> and <em>tls</em>. Any other value reverts to plain

+        (unencrypted) SMTP, which defaults to port 25.

+        Despite the names, both values will use the same newer version of TLS,

+        but for historic reasons have these names. <em>ssl</em> refers to "implicit"

+        encryption (sometimes called SMTPS), that uses port 465 by default.

+        <em>tls</em> refers to "explicit" encryption (often known as STARTTLS),

+        that uses port 25 by default. Other ports might be used by the SMTP

+        server, which are not the default. Commonly found alternative port for

+        <em>tls</em> and unencrypted is 587. You need to check your provider&#8217;s

+        documentation or your server configuration to make sure

+        for your own case. Default is the value of <code>sendemail.smtpEncryption</code>.
