Simply own a server/router in between, create a certificate and make the server transparent. And yes I built and installed 10s of mail systems on Linux, NetWare and Windows and currently maintaining about 7 of them. All of them have _valid_ CA authority signed not expired certificates. I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid and my clients just wastes money on them, but this is how the thing are done in the part of the world where I'm living in. Maybe in yours invalid certificates are usuall and this is normal. -- Best regards, Vilius ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
