    Hello again :)

    I tried to generate a new ssl cert for my IMAPD courier ...

    I used

    Code:
    mkimapdcert
    after removing the old imapd.pem

    I also edited

    Code:
    /etc/courier/imapd.cnf
    As I can see a Cert is generated with the right Parameters. But if
    i connect via imap to the mailserver the cert is again for localhost with
    all old Parameters.

    Do I have to edit another Parameter - File?

    best regards

    Which distribution do you use? What did you change in /etc/courier/imapd.cnf? What's in that file now?

    The file looks ok.
    Maybe mkimapdcert takes some parameters. Did you check out
    Code:
    man mkimapdcert
    ?

    i looked at the manpage again and there are no specified parameter exept the content of imapd.cnf

    if i execute mkimapdert i get this output:

    Code:

    as u can see, the parameters of imapd.cnf are correct ...

    now i deleted imapd.pem and restarted courier-imapd ...

    then i connected to the server and i can see, that its again the std - cert ..

    no warning or error with the missing imapd.pem ?!
