Agree with Hugo most root CA have intermidate certificates which should supplied with your server certificate. Otherwise chain won't work and any client don't trust it.

Ah ... wildcard certs .. from what i recall, certs issued like *.example.com were not very well accepted by M$ clients. You should test against non wildcard certs and see how it behaves.

Already have and no luck :( My domain is elisand.com and I have tried *.elisand.com, mx1.elisand.com (I believe that's what my MX record is... if not, whatever it is is what I tried) and mail.elisand.com which is the smtp/imap server name I use in Outlook. All three yield the same result :(

Eli.

I have taken the liberty to connect to your server, using openssl, i've seen the following:

$ openssl s_client -CApath /usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org/ -connect mail.elisand.com:993 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=1 /O=Root CA/OU=http://www.cacert.org/CN=CA Cert Signing Authority/emailAddress=support@cacert.org verify return:1 depth=0 /CN=*.elisand.com verify return:1

Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=*.elisand.com i:/O=Root CA/OU=http://www.cacert.org/CN=CA Cert Signing Authority/emailAddress=support@cacert.org

i believe you should change two things. If the name you wish to use on your clients is mail.alisand.com, then the certificate should read CN=mail.elisand.com. Furthermore, it's always a good idea to provide the chaining certificate path on dovecots side. Try using the ssl_ca_file directive on dovecot's configuration.
