Thanks for the hint. How does uw-imap get the server name? The imap
server says "localhost" but /etc/hostname has the machine's network
name. $HOSTNAME is set to this name, too.
I think the mismatch is between the contents of the certificate and
the server name configured in the client (Alpine).
Thanks for the hint. I changed the server name in Alpine config (remote
pinerc) to use the FQDN. The warning is gone. It is quite annoying that
I have to change all entries to FQDN in remote pinerc, now. Furthermore
I have to change all machines where I configured remote pinerc.
The SSL certificate (server) for IMAP didn't change, the client setup
didn't change. So I'm a bit confused about the warning. The previous
remote pinerc config had a non-FQDN (missing all parts behind the first
dot) and it worked (no warning) until I upgraded some server software. I
tried to change some settings in DNS resolution: client => default DNS
suffix dns server (dnsmasq) => expand-hosts. But this didn't help. If I
ask the DNS server for the short machine name (non-FQDN) or for the IP
address I always get a FQDN.
Any more hints how I can still use non-FQDN in alpine config?
