An inverted-boolean bug in lettre's boring-tls integration silently
disables TLS hostname verification for callers using the default (strict)
configuration. An on-path attacker presenting any chain-valid certificate
for any domain can intercept SMTP submission, including PLAIN/LOGIN
credentials and message contents, against any lettre user built with the
boring-tls feature. Other TLS backends (native-tls, rustls) are
unaffected.
The bug was introduced in v0.10.1 and persists through v0.11.21 (latest).
