Hi,
I use Postfix & Dovecot with TLS / SSL - it authenticates / works fine - except I'm always getting this ugly SSL cert warning messages mit MTAs. It says that the following:
"You have attempted to establish a connection with "server". However, the security certificate presented belongs to "*.server". It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this web site." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Web site?
Is there a serverside solution that I wont get that any more? Why is
- as a wildcard not working? Iwonder How gMail or other providers solve that issue
If a wildcard is accepted, depends on the client. Some clients enforce at least two labels (domains) following the wildcard (like: *.example.com).
Why do you really need a wildcard cert?
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
