smtp ssl setting

SMTP ssl setting in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb is not processed by omnibus 'gitlab ctl reconfigure' gitlab_rails['smtp_ssl'] = true

/cc @marin

Where did you see that setting?

In omnibus installation there is no way to set ssl option for smtp mailer (some SMTP server's are configured only for ssl - not TLS).

Putting "gitlab_rails['smtp_ssl'] = true" option in /etc/gitlab.rb shoul place corresponding "ssl: true" line to /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/etc/smtp_settings.rb file while gitlab ctl reconfigure.

Please not that, putting "ssl: true" manually to /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/etc/smtp_settings.rb file makes gitlab smpt mailer work, but the change will be overwritten by next reconfigure.

# This file is managed by gitlab-ctl. Manual changes will be
# erased! To change the contents below, edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
# and run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure`.


if Rails.env.production?
  Gitlab::Application.config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

  ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
    authentication: :login,
    address: "....",
    port: 465,
    user_name: "gitlab@...",
    password: "....",
    domain: "....",
    enable_starttls_auto: false,
    tls: false,
    openssl_verify_mode: "none",
    ssl: true,
    ca_file: "/opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem",
  }
end

omnibus-gitlab is following what is added as an example in GitLab. That setting doesn't exist in smtp_settings.sample file, can you create a MR to add it there? After that I can add the setting to make that configurable.
