Hi!

Sorry if this has been covered. I've just started using dovecot and I've searched via google and I've downloaded the maillist archives, but I haven't found a solution.

I'm using Fedora Core 1, with dovecot-0.99.10-6. When I'm at work, I access my home mail server using Outlook Express (I know, I know, but it's the only client I'm allowed to use at work). Now, I'm able to get to my email, but I get a warning popup box each time I connect to the server, that the authenticity of the certificate can't be verified. I'm assuming that that's because I am using a self-signed certificate.

Now, I'm also using postfix, and it allows for me creating my own CA certificate, and using it to sign my own certificates. The /etc/postfix/main.cf entries are:

smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/newreq.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/newcert.pem smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/cacert.pem

but while I see the following two lines in /etc/dovecot.conf:

ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/dovecot.pem

I don't see how to specify my CA cert.

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to openssl, but I've been able to follow directions to get the TLS working in both postfix and dovecot. I just want to get rid of that annoying message. I figure that there's a way to sign my dovecot certs with the ca cert I've already created for postfix, and tell dovecot about it somehow. Has anybody done this?

Thanks!

Ben
