Hello!

Could it be that Courier MTA cannot be configured to send emails  
securely (using SSL) to Sendgrid because they have their hostname in  
SAN not in CN?

Thanks.

I brought this up to our securities team and they relayed this info to me:

Our certificate for smtp.sendgrid.net has a common name (CN) of:

```
Subject: OU=Domain Control Validated,
CN=*.smtp.sendgrid.net
```

however, we also have a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of:

```
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
     DNS:*.smtp.sendgrid.net, DNS:smtp.sendgrid.net
```

so our certificate is technically valid for smtp.sendgrid.net, but the  
client has to check it according to [Subject Alternative  
Name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_Alternative_Name) rules.

As for the configuration change, I am not familiar with Courier MTA  
and I am unsure as to why you're unable to send mail through SendGrid  
with those settings. It may be best to try reaching out to their  
support team for more assistance getting that set up (everything looks  
correct from what I can tell checking out their documentation), or  
have you already tried that?

I look forward to your reply!
