Description

After upgrading from 11.5.3 to 11.9.1 mail_room fails to start. I'm running behind a reverse proxy (haproxy) which takes care of SSL, so I set GITLAB_HTTPS="true" but no other SSL configuration. The error message in mail_room.log is:

certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate)
(OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mail_room startup failure after upgrading from 11.5.3 to 11.9.1, using the GITLAB_HTTPS setting and HAProxy reverse-proxy setup described here. Inspect mail_room.log and the certificate verification path; done means mail_room starts successfully without the OpenSSL certificate error.
