I have Qpopper 4.05 set with TLS/SSL on a Solaris 2.6 system and certificates obtained from Thawte (the SSL123 type of cert if it matters). It works in conjunction with Eudora 6.1 from my Macintosh, but so far I've been unable to make it work with any other mail client, Mac or Windows based - all of them complain in various ways about the root certificate. For instance, Mail.app returns
Unable to verify SSL server xxx.myhost.com Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "xxx.myhost.com". The error was: There is no root certificate for this server. followed by a dire warning that I might be connecting to a system that is pretending to be "xxx.myhost.com". If I tell Mail to ignore this and continue, it'll download any available mail and not complain for the rest of the session. Once I quit Mail and restart it, though, it complains all over again. Other mail clients follow similar patterns, or flat out refuse to download anything. My config stuff contains: set tls-support = alternate-port set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem and the cert.pem file contains both the server cert and the signed cert. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Pete Hanson System Administrator
