NOTE: This issue has been fixed as of CiviCRM 4.7.22 (and CiviCRM 4.6.30 for the Long Term Support version). Please upgrade or see info below on how to fix manually.

This issue occurs when using CiviSMTP service from any CMS running CiviCRM 4.7.21 or CiviCRM 4.6.29.

The following error occurs when sending an email:

Fatal error: Call to a member function enableCrypto() on null in <path_to_drupal>/sites/all/modules/civicrm/vendor/pear/net_smtp/Net/SMTP.php on line 615
To fix this please do the following:

- Revert any custom changes made to <path_to_civicrm_module>/vendor/pear/net_smtp/Net/SMTP.php file, if any.

- Edit the same SMTP.php file and make the following change:

Replace line 615 that currently looks like this:

if (PEAR::isError($result = $this->socket->enableCrypto(true, $crypto_method))) {
with the following line:

if (PEAR::isError($result = $this->_socket->enableCrypto(true, $crypto_method))) {
(the difference is the added underscore in $this->_socket)

Then please try sending an email from the Outbound Email Settings and if that works, please try sending a bulk mailing from CiviMail to confirm that this issue has been fixed.
