Hello,
After client (Thunderbird, now version 31.0) updated today, it stopped connecting to Dovecot IMAP4S. The infamous "SSL alert number 42" is reported.
Mail server uses local (created for intranet) CA certificate as root.
I would appreciate pieces of advice on how to handle that without enabling plaintext authentication over insecure channels.
Other intranet services work with this local CA quite fine.
Thank you in advance. Required data:
