Hello,
I hope someone can help me out.
I have been using my mail server for some time now and never had any
problems beside *sending first* to a gmail.com account (but that's not
too much of an issue). The main thing which made me perplex is that I
had to add the certificate to Thunderbird exceptions (which works fine
after doing so). Still I fear that maybe even the google thing may
relate to the following problem:
The certificate I got is for "mail.<domain>.com" which should be
correct. My MX record redirects to "mail.<domain>.com" while I also
have an A record with a prefix "mail" which redirects to the correct
IP. But Thunderbird sees the Location as "imap.<domain>.com" opposed
to the "mail." address I made the certificate for.
I have not used it in a few years but I do support some users of it and
to the best of my knowledge Thunderbird does not invent names at random,
it uses the server names YOU configure it to use.
Since you haven't mentioned anything clearly related to Postfix and have
a problem (of no clear description) with a machine that you've told
Thunderbird to call "imap' this seems likely to be a problem between
Thunderbird and your IMAP server.
Postfix is NOT your IMAP server. It *cannot* be your IMAP server.
