Ok this ESP guy is an excellent programmer but a bit lacking in all else. Can anyone diagnose his issue? Its not my wheelhouse either?
Do you know about certificates for mail servers? I’m trying out the SmarterMail server and had some confusion about how to configure secure access. I assumed SmarterMail would allow a certificate per domain but they don’t. Instead they have certificates based on the protocol. I stuck a goolara.com certificate in and then Outlook desktop asked if I wanted to use the certificate when I tried to connect via IMAP SSL (993). I allowed it, but this isn’t something I experienced when using on-line mail servers, so I wonder how they handle secure connections without giving that certificate warning. Do you know? Also, the sending side is confusing me some. Google is reporting that the connection was secure and doesn’t give that annoying warning about not being encrypted, but I’m sending for a domain that is different than my certificate so I’m not sure why that is allowed. I have configured my Symphonie software to use STARTTLS and encrypt the connection but I only do it if I’ve received a SSL cert from the customer for that domain. But is that not necessary? Can the connection be secure with any domain’s certificate and still be accepted by the ISPs?
