Hi Folks,

I am familiar with how imapd / ipop3d are set up for TLS ... by making symlinks from files such as

imapd-IPv4.pem -> the_certificate.pem

This works and has always worked fine. I wonder if anyone has patched Panda or uw imap to support SNI (server name indication)? E.g. some way that the server can look an an expected host header and use tha to pick the PEM file. I could imagine it could be something simple like:

1. Get the the desired host name from the TLS dialog
2. Instead of looking at imapd-IPv4.pem, look at hostname.pem (assuming its the same hostname for imapd, simapd, ipop3d, and sipop3d ... which it would be in 99.9% of cases, I imagine).

Thanks,
-Erik Kangas
