Re: sendmail issues...

Cool, thanks... Actually, I finally figured out (by increasing the debug
level in the logs) that STARTTLS said it was "missing" the
ServerCertFile... Which is odd, cause I didn't change anything, and even
on the NEW fresh install, it should have been good, because I was using
the DEFAULT auto-generated file... The file had the correct permissions,
so I ended up copying and pasting the following line over my old one:

define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem')dnl

from one of the web sites I was reading on how to set it up in the first
place, and restarted the server and magically it worked... I guess there
was some hidden tab or space or something in that line that I couldn't
see, I've had that happen before with something else, which is really odd,
but it NOW works, so I'm happy... The only thing I noticed, is that the
first time I connect with outlook or evolution it tells me the certificate
is bad, even though I created it exactly like it told me... but, it still
accepts it none the less, and I could care less, as long as it works...


Thanks!
