Hi Steve,

You could create your own private CA then sign your Dovecot certificate with the CA cert and
alpine should then trust it.

Best Regards

"sees the self-signed cert"?
Did you've added it as trusted to the CA as Greg said and wrote what
to do?

No. I don't want to deal with a third party "Trusted Party": I want  it
self-signed. What I was looking for was a way Alpine could be set to
check for a cert, warn if the cert is conflicting, but not warn if it's
self-signed.

Thanks,
