Hello,

I hope someone can help me out.

I have been using my mail server for some time now and never had any problems beside *sending first* to a gmail.com account (but that's not too much of an issue). The main thing which made me perplex is that I had to add the certificate to Thunderbird exceptions (which works fine after doing so). Still I fear that maybe even the google thing may relate to the following problem:

The certificate I got is for "mail.<domain>.com" which should be correct. My MX record redirects to "mail.<domain>.com" while I also have an A record with a prefix "mail" which redirects to the correct IP. But Thunderbird sees the Location as "imap.<domain>.com" opposed to the "mail." address I made the certificate for.

In the Thunderbird Support I was told it is because I configured my server this way - which I'm not sure at what point I had the option to choose the needed prefix. I followed this guide [1] with minor changes and some small changes on postfix security side (which I also used the mailing list for). I also asked in the Thunderbird support forums [2] where you can also find some screens of the error.

Hope someone can tell me if I was configuring something wrong or if it is actually a Thunderbird issue?

Best regards,
Akimiya
