As many of you know, AT&T is doing away with its WorldNet service and
switching those users to its Dial Internet service. After making the
appropriate changes to my server settings in SeaMonkey, I get the

============================================================
Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch
You have attempted to establish a connection with "ipostoffice.att.net".
However, the security certificate presented belongs to
"ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net". It is possible, though unlikely, that
someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site.
If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to
"ipostoffice.att.net", please cancel the connection and notify the site
administrator.
[View Certificate] [OK] [Cancel] [Help]
============================================================
Now, of course, I confidently click the [OK] button, but I'm wondering
if there's a way to program SeaMonkey to ignore this particular error
from this particular site, so I don't have to intervene every 20 minutes
whenever SM tries to get mail.
Thanks.
I would strongly suggest you rethink using ATT's services. If they
can't manage their certificates correctly, what else are they doing that
makes you vulnerable?
They're only an emergency backup when my satellite connection is down,
but your point is well taken.
