With the following fetchmail config:
poll xxxx protocol imap:
no dns
# port 993
user johann.sp...@alterit.co.za js here
password "xxxxxxx"
# ssl
# sslcertck # Check the certificates
# sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs # Path to the certificates
fetchall
mda "formail -s /usr/bin/procmail -f- -d js@localhost"
I get this error message:
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate
fetchmail: This means that the root signing certificate (issued for
/C=US/ST=Someprovince/L=Sometown/O=none/OU=none/CN=localhost/emailAddress=webaster@localhost)
is not in the trusted CA certificate locations, or that c_rehash needs to be
run on the certificate directory. For details, please see the documentation of
--sslcertpath and --sslcertfile in the manual page.
fetchmail: Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing
anyways. (Better use --sslcertck!)
But I get my email.
Changing it to uncomment
sslcertck and
sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs
I get this:
fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: localhost != alterit.co.za
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate
fetchmail: This means that the root signing certificate (issued for
/C=US/ST=Someprovince/L=Sometown/O=none/OU=none/CN=localhost/emailAddress=webaster@localhost)
is not in the trusted CA certificate locations, or that c_rehash needs to be
run on the certificate directory. For details, please see the documentation of
--sslcertpath and --sslcertfile in the manual page.
140204723410600:error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:s3_clnt.c:1059:
fetchmail: alterit.co.za: upgrade to TLS failed.
fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on johann.sp...@alterit.co.za
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from johann.sp...@alterit.co.za
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
In this case fetching the email fails.
The service provider sent me a certificiate which I did put in the path
referred to in the configuration but it did not solve the problem.
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Johann
