Hi Kevin and list, On Tuesday, May 24, 2005 at 10:37:12 GMT -0400 (which was 16:37 where I live) Kevin Coates wrote (at least in parts) and made these valuable points on the subject of "TLS Failure":

I'd bet the hostname is _not_ mail.kcoates.com. I have this very problem with my hoster's certificate, which is issued for my hoster's mail server. So I have to use mail.<hoster's server> instead of mail.<mydomain>. The two are in fact the same server (or the same mail program on the same server in fact.) > If I use Thunderbird or The Bat!/GPGrelay, I am allowed to use this > certificate > and establish the secured connection. I guess they do not verify the certificate's server name, which seems like a flaw to me. > The Bat! gives me no options and won't allow a connection. I'd like to have an option for the server's name in the certificate. That would solve our problem at once. > Has anyone else seen this and figured out a solution? see above :-) -- Regards Michael powered by The BAT! 3.5.0.11, , and MyMacros 1.11a with usual problems of Windows 2000 Pro 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
