SMTP version outdated

Recently our network has been segmented which causes an issue with sending mail (emailer transformer) with FME Form from server X using an smtp mailserver which is in another part of the network. A firewall has been added in between these two. 

The firewall blocks mails being sent because fme form (20241202 - Build 24801 - WIN64)) supposedly uses an outdated version of OpenSMTP giving this issue: CVE Record: CVE-2020-7247

Does anyone recognize this? It seems to be an old issue dating back to 2020. I would expect this to be solved in a 2024 version. I can't find anything in the documentation.

 

Help would be appreciated since I know very little about firewall, mailservers etc.

    Hi ​@fdw 

    I'm sorry that no one has responded to your question yet! 
    It appears that our Emailer transformer does not contain an outdated version of the OpenSMTP library but our development team is currently taking a closer look at this (internal reference: FMEENGINE-88890). I will make sure to keep you updated.

    Hi ​@fdw 

    Our development team has made a few updates to the Emailer package, which may fix the issue you were seeing. This package update does require an FME Build 25630 (2025.1.2) or newer.

    If you are able to test in FME 2025.1.2 or newer can you please let me know if this resolves the issue?

    Thank you!
