Add TLS/STARTTLS support for sending verification emails #815

@LTSlw

Description

@LTSlw

Currently, the application’s email sending functionality for verification messages does not support TLS/STARTTLS. This limits secure communication with modern SMTP servers, as many providers require encrypted connections to accept messages. Without TLS/STARTTLS, verification emails may fail to deliver or risk being intercepted.

async fn get_mailer(cfg: &Configuration) -> Mailer {
let settings = cfg.settings.read().await;
if !settings.mail.smtp.credentials.username.is_empty() && !settings.mail.smtp.credentials.password.is_empty() {
// SMTP authentication
let creds = Credentials::new(
settings.mail.smtp.credentials.username.clone(),
settings.mail.smtp.credentials.password.clone(),
);
AsyncSmtpTransport::<Tokio1Executor>::builder_dangerous(&settings.mail.smtp.server)
.port(settings.mail.smtp.port)
.credentials(creds)
.authentication(vec![Mechanism::Login, Mechanism::Xoauth2, Mechanism::Plain])
.build()
} else {
// SMTP without authentication
AsyncSmtpTransport::<Tokio1Executor>::builder_dangerous(&settings.mail.smtp.server)
.port(settings.mail.smtp.port)
.build()
}
}
