I notice in my webmail's SSL engine log an error involving my wildcard certificate 
(domain name has been changed to EXAMPLE for this discussion):

[14/Mar/2004 20:38:23 21806] [info]  Init: Loading certificate & private key of 
SSL-aware server mail.example.com:443
[14/Mar/2004 20:38:24 21807] [info]  Init: Configuring server mail.example.com:443 for 
SSL protocol
[14/Mar/2004 20:38:24 21807] [warn]  Init: (mail.example.com:443) RSA server 
certificate CommonName (CN) `*.example.com' does NOT match server name!?


yes, I know that an SSL cert (at least a wildcard one) can't protect the root domain, 
but this server is mail.example.com, no example.com

I noticed in the squirrelmail config.php file (and via the conf.pl script, too) that 
there's an entry for:

Server Settings/Domain

which is set to example.com

and is described as:

The domain name is the suffix at the end of all email addresses.  If
for example, your email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], then your domain
would be myorg.com.

I'm wondering if this is a poor description of the field; that this field should 
indeed be set at mail.example.com, not example.com

any thoughts?
