yeah... you'll always be a kid for your mom. despite the age, no matter
what.

point is... paternalistic?
personally, i doubt it; mommernalistic would be a better explanation

once you concede they should be paternalistic about some things, it's
hard to complain about them doing it with others. perhaps I think they
are right about the certificates and wrong on the other.

vv AFAIR, Max commented on this already. if your user is qualified indeed,
vv he/she'd put something like stunnel.

And why would he go through all this trouble? Just because Ritlabs
refuses to respect his experience? Saying that they are smarter than
him, they will check the certificate for him?

There are other email clients out there with which the user can work
as he desires. The purpose of computing in general is to make life
easier, you seem to be forgetting this. If one email client makes my
life more difficult, on purpose because a cert should not be expired
- which is true but happens -, and another email client lets me accept
it, which one would I use? Considering that I'm effectively cut off
email without accepting that cert, so all the bells and whistles that
make TB! so great don't count: A superior filtering system has no
value without mails. Better use anothere email client with a
not-so-good filtering system, but at least no problems at mail
sending/retrieval.

Yes, it is a mistake of the sysad if the cert is expired. So what? If
the cert in our office expries, I will know he has slept again, and I
want to accept the expired cert until he gets on his feet, instead of
having to install stunnel and whatnot. Does Max want to call each
sysad and remind him to please update his cert, as otherwise TB!-users
are unable to do their mailing?

Or the Belgian problem: The cert on the ID card is in another format
than TB! expects, and the user is not allowed to accept it, even
though he KNOWS it is perfectly valid. Only way for the user is to use
another email client.

How is this good for the product?

why don't you ask him directly? who knows, maybe his point is exactly
this; kinda eager to talk to sleepy sysadmins or the like. :)

Hi Folks,

6/1/2007, 14:00:36: FETCH - Certificate S/N: 432AECC1000303CF, algorithm: 
RSA (1024 bits),
 issued from 27 Mar 2006 to 27 Mar 2008, for 1 host(s): email.cisco.com.
6/1/2007, 14:00:36: FETCH - Owner: US, CA, San Jose, CIsco Systems, EMS, 
email.cisco.com.
6/1/2007, 14:00:36: FETCH - Issuer: Cisco Systems, Cisco SSL CA.
 !6/1/2007, 14:00:36: FETCH - TLS handshake failure. Invalid server 
 certificate (This certificate has expired).
 
But it wouldn't seem it's expired as says decoded valid
from 27 Mar 2006 to 27 Mar 2008 ? So good for another 10+
months ?
   
   Well seems that this is truly an expire certificate regardless of
   what the log message shows as dates... I decided to try this server
   TLS/SSL with Outlook Express today and sure enough it also
   complained of an expired certificate..

 A secure connection to the server could not be established. Account:
 'email.cisco.com', Server: 'email.cisco.com', Protocol: POP3, Port:
 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC1A
   
   Though Outlook would have let me ignore this fault... :)

   Sorry to bother the list...

Ritlabs is of the opinion that that it is in your best interest if
they deny you the option of accepting an expired certificate. They say
that they have heard of a grandmother who clicked on YES mistakenly,
and now her system is broken.

So, that's why folks who need to accept an expired certificate and
really know what they are doing, cannot use TB! but must use Outlook.
I'm a bit sad that Ritlabs is not interested in those customers who
know what they are doing any more.

RG Can this be true?

See the thread starting at mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] in
this list, from just last month. Ritlabs didn't comment officially, so
professionals who know what they are doing when accepting an expired
cert have no hopes that this will ever be possible and the mistake in
strategy be rectified. Hence, email professionals are not the target
group anymore and have to look elsewhere, where they are not being
nannied by their email client.
