1) I have the problem of setting up a Secure Sockets Layer(SSL) on my
sendmail server. I have sendmail-8.12 on my redhat9.0 box and openssl.
First, I created my own certificate authority(CA) using openSSL. Next, I
created the CA directory under /etc/mail/ where I can store my sendmail
Certificate Authority information. In addition, I created four
subdirectories where I can store the CA certificates(certs), the certificate
revocation lists(crl), newcerts and the CA's private key(private). After I
finished all steps, I modify sendmail.mc to add CA support to my Sendmail
installation. Then I run m4 to have a new sendmail.cf configuration file
and restart the sendmail service.
If my Sendmail has successfully configured then I should be able to see the
250-STARTTLS when I telnetting the localhost on the port 25, but It didn't
show . I also try to send email from my outlook expresse of win2k which say
the server is not configured for SSL support.
Is somebody, please give me some hint how I should go about this problem?
2) Before I configured the secured IMAP, I was able to read mails from my
sendmail server with outlook express with out problem. I then configured
IMAP to the secured form which is not hard. After I changed to the secured
form of IMAP, the outlook express give me a message saying that it is not
able to authenticate the server because it doesn't configured for any
authentication method that is used by server. I also changed the port from
143 to 993.
please I need someones help how or where I should make any settings? The
outlook express is running on windows 2000 professional. So if any specific
log or messages is need to look at it, I am happy to post it.
I am hopping for some help!!
Thank you
john
