test(config): expect SMTP_TIMEOUT kwarg in SSL call assertions

PR #41250 added timeout=smtp_timeout to the smtplib.SMTP_SSL calls in
send_mime_email; update the unit-test assertions to match.

 2. Set that value on the tunnel's `server_host_key` (via the database/SSH tunnel API or UI payload).
 3. Optionally set `SSH_TUNNEL_STRICT_HOST_KEY_CHECKING = True` in `superset_config.py` to require host-key verification on all tunnels.
 
+### SMTP server certificate validation enabled by default
+
+`SMTP_SSL_SERVER_AUTH` now defaults to `True` (previously `False`). With this default, STARTTLS/SSL connections to the configured SMTP server validate the server's TLS certificate against the system trusted CA store. This makes outbound email (alerts and reports) verify the mail server's identity out of the box.
+
+If your SMTP server presents a self-signed certificate, or a certificate that is not trusted by the system CA store, email delivery may now fail with a certificate verification error. To restore the previous behavior of skipping certificate validation, set the following in `superset_config.py`:
+
+```python
+SMTP_SSL_SERVER_AUTH = False
+```
+
+The recommended fix is to add the SMTP server's certificate (or its issuing CA) to the system trust store rather than disabling validation.

 ### Dataset import validates catalog against the target connection
 
 Importing a dataset now validates the `catalog` field against the target database connection. When the connection has multi-catalog disabled (`allow_multi_catalog` off) and the dataset's catalog is not the connection's default catalog, the import fails instead of silently persisting the non-default catalog. This matches the validation already enforced on the dataset update path and prevents imported datasets from querying an unintended database.
