IO::Socket::SSL breaks sendEmail

Line 1907 needs to be modifed from:

1907: if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version => 'SSLv3 TLSv1')) {

to something like:

1907: if (! IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL($SERVER, SSL_version => 'SSLv23:!SSLv2')) {

Note that the "SSLv23:!SSLv2" string is the default in IO::Socket::SSL, and inherently includes TLSv1. There may be better/alternative specifications that can be used, but the current string is syntactically invalid, which now causes IO::Socket::SSL to fail (previously, this would have been ignored).

I hope this helps.
