Sendmail: new one on me..

2009-01-28 Thread Chris Ditri

Thanks for the reply! So this sounds like MY server talking to dell's server, attempting to use TLS in the transfer, and the certificate fails. The message still gets sent (though I imagine unencrypted, which is fine) -- correct? There was no error output, that was the closest thing to an error

Wait... I get it now. I did some more reading. The dell server is trying to send the message to my server encrypted, it gets to my server, my server has a self-signed certificate and because of this, the transaction fails. According to what I'm reading here (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2487.txt

Thanks Dan (and everyone else), Then it is still a mystery to me, because there is no record in the log of the dell server even attempting a connection to mine. It is possible, I supposed, that the Dell rep made 4 consecutive typos on 3 different addresses... Even though he insists he didn't, a
