Assign that address to a domain name that matches your isp's certificate (eg mail.isp) in your hosts file. The hosts file is a plain text file (you can edit it with notepad) with the name hosts without an extension. Mine is located in: \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc When it's not present, there might be a file called 'hosts.sam', you can rename that to 'hosts' Here's an example of what you can add: 192.168.1.2 mail.otten.tv you start with the IP address and then the domain name you want to assign to that IP address. In TB you set the server address to mail.isp Now TB will check the mail at mail.isp mail.isp is redirected to your server via the IP address assigned in the hosts file, but TB thinks it's connecting to mail.isp Your provider shows its certificate TB compares that to the address it's trying to connect and finds a match. -- Groetjes, Roelof I'm never difficult...Impossible maybe, difficult, never.
