I have dovecot version 1.0 relese 0.beta8.2.fc5 installed on my FC5 linux box. It acts as an IMAP server to my home LAN. I connect to it from the home PCs over SSL and have installed a certificate in the domain imap.edwards.home to enable this.
However, I also use a web site called www.xs2mail.com which retrieves the email from my IMAP server (which has a public DNS entry called XXX.homelinux.com) and displays them in a web interface. I used to run uw-imap and this all worked fine. But since I went to Dovecot I can't use that site any more because it gives me this message:
Login failure: Certificate failure for XXX.homelinux.com: self signed certificate: /C=AU/ST=NSW/L=Sydney/O=Edwards/OU=IMAP server/CN=imap.edwards.home/emailAddress=philledwards@gmail.com
I assume it's getting upset because the certificate is for imap.edwards.home but the domain it's connecting to is XXX.homelinux.com. Is there a way to resolve this? I read something about using virtual servers but all I could find is this in a post somewhere - I don't know which file it goes, where in that file etc:
<snip> 1.0-tests support "virtual servers", where this is possible:
server foo { listen = 1.2.3.4 ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/foo.cer }
server bar { listen = 1.2.3.5 ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/bar.cer } </snip>
Can anyone help me figure this out?
(PS - I can't just set up my own IMAP web interface because I can't run anything on port 80 with my ISP and I can't get out of our company firewall on anything other than port 80).
Thanks in advance, Phill
