Hello Exim Users. I've been using Exim4 on my workstation for sometime . I discover a problem in Exim4's handing of server certificates verification, when the smtp smarthosts' hostnames are DNS aliases Exim4 always can't pass verification and log with something like "certificate/cert name mismatch". It seems Exim never check the *alias* hostname with the certificate Subject & SubjectAltName field, it always check the *canonical* hostname.
For example for gmail: smtp.gmail.com -> gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com: smtp.gmail.com is in Subject & SubjectAltName field Exim check only gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com and gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com not in Subject & SubjectAltName field, so it log with "certificate/cert name mismatch". Exim should compare the *alias* hostname smtp.gmail.com How to make Exim check the *alias* hostname? -- kevin -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
