No, not sendmail. The server has postfix and dovecot, I'm using imap, not pop, and sending the mail through the dovecot smtp on the server. smtp://t...@tonybaldwin.info:passwordh...@mail.tonybaldwin.info:25 Of course, the hostname on the box is not mail.tonybaldwin.info but tonybaldwin.info for the postfix cert, I used mail.tonybaldwin.info hmmm...I didn't change the dovecot cert (doesn't expire for a while, because I redid the whole dovecot upon update to wheezy). ./tony -- https://tonybaldwin.info art, music, software by me, tony 3F330C6E
