Sending Mail: hostname does not match the server certificate

Support
#1

Hopefully just a simple question. But I could not find an answer via google.
I have installed foreman on a Debian Wheezy server.
I want to send mails. To test, I have enabled sending welcoming emails, and
am creating a test user (well, trying to).
If I enter an email address, creating the user fails (without email
address, it succeeds) with the following error:
Warnung!hostname does not match the server certificate

/var/log/foreman/production.log:

2016-01-25T11:51:44 [app] [W] Action failed

/etc/foreman/email.yaml:

# Outgoing email settings
production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: localhost
    port: 25
    domain: localhost
    authentication: :none

So my simple question is:
Which settings do I need (in email.yaml or otherwise) to get foreman to
send emails. I do not have (nor should I) ssl configured for my smtp host
(postfix). After all, it only listens on 127.0.0.1 to deliver emails from
the server itself.

I found help via irc:
The setting enable_starttls_auto: false
has to be added in email.yaml (under smtp_settings)
Hint: If you have not set the correct sender domain for
email_reply_address, you will probably get a 550 error from your smtp
server…
