Andrew,
My experience is it depends on the client. For self-signed certificates
if your clients are using
* Eudora: they must "reimport" the self-signed certificate via the
properties dialog for the particular personality;
* Outlook: will display a "yes/no" warning dialog, but should be able to
receive e-mail.
Also, in either case, the CN of the certificate must exactly match the
server your users are declaring to the e-mail client. So if the CN name
within your certificate is "pop3.domainname.com", your users _must_
enter "pop3.domainname.com" in Eudora and in Outlook. In either case, a
CN mismatch will cause:
* Eudora: to refuse a connection;
* Outlook will display an additional warning dialog

Subject: [courier-users] SSL Wierdness
I need to change the common name for both my IMAP and SMTP servers in
the
ssl
cert. I edited the appropriate config files, re-rolled the .pem
files,
restarted courier. Following this none of my clients could connect
(so I
brought back the copies of the .pem's I made and all worked fine) Is
there
something I'm missing?
