Hi Iredmail support,

we have confured our cert by the following ways:

smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt


But now we have the issue with the cert while sending outgoing message:

You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site and Thunderbirds offers to make an exception, but how to fix and remove this warning window ?

Please see the screenshot.

With Regards,
Andrei.

Re: email client showing cert issue

Re: email client showing cert issue

We use valid and wildcard cert obtained from https://www.rapidssl.com/ and it works on our current  production mail server.

Re: email client showing cert issue

in /etc/postfix/main.cf we have:

# hostname
myhostname = etain.fbi.ie
myorigin = etain.fbi.ie
mydomain = etain.fbi.ie
mail_name = etain.fbi.ie
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name

and we have ptr record added.

Re: email client showing cert issue

the second message that is showing in thunderbird is Sending of the message failed.
Unable to communicate securely with peer: requested domain name does not match the server’s certificate. The configuration related to mail.futuremsp.ie must be corrected.

Re: email client showing cert issue

then of course thunderbird will have issues with certificate (issued to etain.fbi.ie) while you trying to connect to this server with domain mail.futuremsp.ie
you should rather use second server with mail.domainname.ie name and cert on it
or
use the same settings etain.fbi.ie for imap and smtp
or
get new certs mail.futuremsp.ie on this server and use this cert for imap/smtp
