pfpki: unable to send certificates by mail

[nqb]

Describe the bug
When I try to send a certificate by mail, I got following error message in web admin:

"gomail: could not send email 1: gomail: invalid address \"\": mail: no address","status":404

Certificate is not sent.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure Alerting section in PacketFence with a SMTP server, sender and recipients
2. Configure a CA
3. Create a template
4. Generate a certificate based on template with an email address
5. Send certificate by mail

Expected behavior
Certificate is sent to email configured in certificate.

Additional context
There is no SMTP server installed on my PacketFence: nothing listens on 25. However, I'm able to send emails using my SMTP server configured in Alerting section.

What is the value of alterting.smtp_encryption?

Hello,

Default value, I didn't change it.

You probably forgot to fill the PKCS12 tab in the profile.

[nqb]

No I did it to test with all fields. Anyway, it should not prevent to send an email.

[jrouzierinverse]

Instead of handling the email sending logic in golang.
Why not just use the API to send it.
{"subject":"Here", "message" : "Hello Bob"} => POST /api/v1/email/pfmailer

Issue is not presents on Debian 9 with 10.3.0 but presents on CentOS 7 with 10.3.0.

On CentOS 7, it seems that alerting settings are completely ignored by process where they are honored on Debian 9.

On CentOS 7, process try to use local SMTP server whatever is configured in alerting section.

@fdurand, could you look at this issue ?

I still have an issue on Debian 11 with PacketFence v11 with default settings in Alerting (SMTP server = localhost):

it´s because SMTP Check SSL is enable event if the SMTP encryption is none.
