Hi,
I am trying to get K-9 to use certificates/STARTTLS to communicate with and 
relay through my postfix mail server. I have a self-signed ca-cert and have 
generated user certificates and keys from this. I have imported the ca-cert 
into Android and the p12 user certificate into K-9.

Using STARTTLS/port 587, every time I switch from user/pass authentication 
to certificates I get a message from K-9:[code]Cannot connect to server. 
(Unable to authenticate. The server does not advertise the SASL EXTERNAL 
capability. This could be a problem with the client certificate (expired, 
unknown certificate authority) or some other configuration 
problem.)[/code]I have tried using a user certificate and the system 
certificate but nothing I do changes the reply.

If I try telnetting into port 587 I get:[code][root@server ~]# telnet 
127.0.0.1 587
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailserver.howitts.co.uk ESMTP Postfix
ehlo howitts.co.uk
250-mailserver.howitts.co.uk
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 51200000
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN[/code]So STARTTLS is advertised. In postfix the message I get 
is:[code]Apr  5 16:33:27 server postfix/smtpd[9162]: connect from 
motog.howitts.co.uk[172.17.2.113]
Apr  5 16:33:27 server postfix/smtpd[9162]: setting up TLS connection from 
motog.howitts.co.uk[172.17.2.113]
Apr  5 16:33:27 server postfix/smtpd[9162]: 
motog.howitts.co.uk[172.17.2.113]: Trusted: subject_CN=ourfamily, 
issuer=ca.server.howitts.lan, 
fingerprint=13:45:A2:B4:94:B0:18:4A:E3:46:C0:29:29:BE:1E:27
Apr  5 16:33:27 server postfix/smtpd[9162]: Trusted TLS connection 
established from motog.howitts.co.uk[172.17.2.113]: TLSv1.2 with cipher 
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)[/code]So the connection seems to be OK at 
the postfix end.

I do sometimes get host-name mismatch warnings which I accept but then I 
end up with the same error.

Have you any idea what I am doing wrong?

TIA,

Nick
