I could not get tlsv1 to work, but using just tls worked like a charm (i.e. using tls)
Hello, for few days , i've try to correct error in my Monit (V5.27-2) log (error : Mail: SSL connection error: error:141E70BF:SSL routines:tls_construct_client_hello:no protocols available)
When sending alert email to my gmail account. My monit email config is:
set mailserver smtp.gmail.com port 587
username xxxxxxxxxxxx password xxxxxxxxxxx
using tlsv1
with timeout 30 seconds
set alert xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
I've tried with TLS, TLSV1, TLSV12 or TLSV13 without progress.
If someone got idea? Thanks

centos 7 vm on linode - Do I need a special build of monit to support tlsv13?
I've got both openssl and openssl11 installed
[root@web3 etc]# monit -V
This is Monit version 5.30.0
Built with ssl, with ipv6, with compression, with pam and with large files

[root@web3 etc]# monit reload
/etc/monitrc:8: Your SSL Library does not support TLS version 1.3 'TLSV13'
[root@web3 ~]# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017
[root@web3 etc]# openssl11 version
OpenSSL 1.1.1k FIPS 25 Mar 2021
I believe openssl11 supports 1.3
