Hello I've compiled mutt on NetBSD 5.0.2 using pkgsrc/ports with ssl support. I use mutt to read mail from my imap mailbox on the localhost, so have "imaps://localhost/INBOX." in my muttrc file. I use dovecot and use self-signed ssl certificates. Without $ssl_verify_host unset mutt complains that the "Certificate host check failed: certificate owner does not match hostname localhost". When I searched on google I found a bug report[1] for mutt 1.5.18 that described the same problem so I just wondered if this might be a problem with mutt rather than something with my setup.
Also, I tried to set $ssl_ca_certificates_file and keep getting the "Unknown Variable" error message when I start mutt, but I have recompiled mutt a few times now to make sure ssl support is compiled in but it does not help. I wondered if anyone might know what might be wrong? Possibly a pkgsrc 'thing', I haven't asked on that list yet. (output from `mutt -v` below.)
