Fail to send SMTP email
Recently, I started getting an error while trying to send an email via SMTP. It did work perfectly before.
The error:
Failed to send email Error: unable to verify the first certificate

This works locally via a simple Python script, but fails when deployed (I use fly.io).
My SMTP config looks like this:
SMTP_HOST=s30.wpx.net
SMTP_USERNAME=email
SMTP_PASSWORD=password
SMTP_PORT=465
Any ideas what can be missing and how I can debug this issue?
