I'm having a lot of problem setting up a self-signed ssl cert for my imap server. I've followed both of the guides on lifewithbincimap several times. Always without success. I'm using osx and Apple's Mail.app, and I've red several differnt documents about using ssl certs, self-signed or otherwise, with mail app.
The problem that I have is that I can't get my mail.app to trust the cert. Even if I import the ca into my keyring, or into the x509 anchors.


I get this error in the binc imap log:

error initializing Binc IMAP: SSL negotiation failed: Internal SSL er
ror: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca

At this point, I realize that I can't differentiate between client configuration issues and cert generation issues. I was wondering if and hoping that there is a test cert/key that is confirmed to work that I can try to narrow my problems scope down.

I would also accept any other bright ideas.

Thank you

Gabriel Russell
