I assume these three are for self signed certificates, so they don't apply to me.

They apply to any certificates or keys that you wish to import, so they do apply to you.

 [email protected]  ->   ~/.alpine-smime/private/
 [email protected]  ->   ~/.alpine-smime/public/
 certificate-ca.crt ->  ~/.alpine-smime/ca/    (is this name correc?)

copy [email protected] to ~/.alpine-smime/ca/ also.

Ah. Done. But doesn't help.

Have you run alpine with debug to see what more information you can get out of the debug?

Do you mind sharing "ls -lR ~/.alpine-smime" with me if this does not work?

Sure, will mail that in private after this mail.


Thank you. I got it. It all looks good.

Thanks, but still not there...

For the record, it fails also in Thunderbird, but in Alpine I don't know yet if I have it configured properly.

Yes, your Alpine is configured correctly. All your permissions are set correctly. Although your certificates have information in them that is not part of the key or certificate, that information does not matter because it is ignored when the certificate is processed, so I am not sure what your problem is.

same error code as this bug:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1756413>
It seems RSA-PSS certificates are not supported.

There's also this:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1364339>

Not my expertise here, but reading man pages, it looks like RSA-PSS uses pkcs#8, while s/mime uses pkcs#7.

https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man7/RSA-PSS.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS

I can't imagine these are good news for you. Let me interpret this in a different way. It looks like the purpose of your certificate is not for s/mime, hence it is not surprising it fails. Since I am not the expert here, I'd love to be corrected.
