[Dovecot] TLS errors when vodafone connecting to dovecot server.
Hi, I've been trying to setup the vodafone email sync ( provided by visto apparently ) and have not been able to do so - I'm getting an error message in my mail logs which looks as if there is a problem with certificates somewhere. May 31 16:49:39 imap dovecot: imap-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094416:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate unknown [206.124.112.22] Thunderbird has no problems with using TLS against this server and I'm not entirely sure if dovecot (or openssl ) is generating the message or if it is something being passed from the remote end. I've had a look around but not found anything on the web pages. Thanks, -Andrew -- Andrew Pounce - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Don't look now, but the man in the moon is laughing at you.

So you'll probably need to figure out a way to import your CA cert (or self-signed cert) to the vodafone. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/CertificateCreation for more information about CA certs and self-signed certs and their problems. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
