Michael,

Thanks, I was thinking along those lines… I may need to name the server more 
appropriately or something….

Regards
Brian

BlueOnyx will always use the server name for the Sendmail process. You used to 
be able to tell Apple devices to accept the certificate once and it would 
remember it or disable SSL and that would stop the problems. However with the 
more recent versions of iOS devices neither works. Even with SSL is disabled it 
throws errors. It is like they include the setting to disable SSL but then 
ignore it. Very frustrating.

The only real solution is to explain to clients they are on shared hosting and 
have them use the server address for incoming and outgoing instead of their own 
domain name. Sure it is a little annoying but all the problems go away.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates this holiday. ☺

[BlueOnyx:22520] SSL certificate for mail requiring to be trusted every time the certificate is renewed.

[Fungal Style]

Hi all,

I must have missed something, but every 2 months when Let’s Encrypt updates the 
SSL, it needs to trust the server again.

Here is an example…

Server1.domainname.com – has an SSL, all is fine
Mydomain.com – has an SSL certificate also enabled
Both are on the same server/IP address but are not linked in any other way (ie 
separate TLDs).

When the user checks email after the SSL has been updated they are prompted to 
trust the server1.domainname.com again, which can be confusing as they do not 
know the server’s name as it is a different TLD.

This is becoming frustrating as the user also has an iphone and it will not 
allow the certificate to be trusted without either a) deleting and recreating 
the account or b) disable the email account on the phone, create a new account, 
have it trusted when prompted and then you can delete it and revert back to the 
original email account (I have only read about this but still seems a lot to do 
every 2 months).

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or how to do it so the SSL will work more 
seamlessly?

Regards
Brian

[BlueOnyx:22519] SMTP on & off

[Meaulnes Legler @ MailList]

hello

since yesterday, sendmail on one of my virtual servers constantly, once every 
one or two hours, fails its service. Active monitor reports:

* There is a severe problem with the email system.
 - The SMTP server is not running and could not be restarted. The SMTP server 
may shut itself down temporarily under extreme load. Check the CPU load on the 
server. If the load does not appear to be the problem, go to the Server Desktop 
and try turning the SMTP server off then on again to see if this corrects the 
problem. If the SMTP server is still unable to start, try rebooting the server 
itself by clicking the Reboot Now button in the Power menu under System 
Settings. If the SMTP server is still unable to start, please 
referhttp://BlueOnyx.it/  for technical support.

After a while, the system manages to restart sendmail and everything is fine again — 
until the next failure... It's a nuisance. The e-mail load doesn't appear to be 
excessive, as far I can see there are peaks with about 35 messages an hour = 2.5 MB 
(Server Management > Usage Information > E-Mail), but this doesn't seem to be 
much, or is it?

Anybody encountering this, too? Any ideas for a remedy?

Thank you and best regards

Meaulnes Legler
