    I think there may be a bug in the connection module.

    With the config set to;

    110/pop3/no/no results in;

    Error connecting to {mail.DOMAIN.com:110/service=pop3}
    Certificate failure for mail.DOMAIN.com: Server name does not match certificate: /OU=Domain Control Validated/OU=PositiveSSL/CN=server.DOMAIN.com

    143/imap/no/no results in;

    Error connecting to {mail.DOMAIN.com:143/service=imap}
    Certificate failure for mail.DOMAIN.com: Server name does not match certificate: /OU=Domain Control Validated/OU=PositiveSSL/CN=server.DOMAIN.com

    Wouldn’t setting Secure connection(SSL) to NO result in a PLAIN connection? Confused why the cert mismatch matters or why its even being considered for a non-SSL connection?

    Any insight?

  • Hi @damelco,

    Actually some mail server may not support SSL connection that’s why non-ssl connection may have to consider . You can try any connecting method ( POP / IMAP ) with ssl or without ssl , see which works for you.

    In case, if you want a secure connection you can consult with your Mail server provider because this plugin only deal with connection not any other thing.

    Thanks,
    Tamim

    perhaps I am not explaining it well enough?

    we have a functional email system with a major provider … I can connect via php script, webmail and/or even client side software (e.g. thundebird, outlook, etc.)

    however Bounce Handler MailPoet 3 cannot connect.

    my suggestion above is even when a PLAIN connection is selected, your script is still attempting to read/use the certificate. … I am suggesting (after reading the error message) it does not seem to be possible to make a PLAIN non-SSL connection if you are trying to use a security certificate.

    perhaps some other option needs to be provided for connections in Bounce Handler MailPoet 3, since a connection is possible from every other source we have used?!

    thanks!

    you are much closer!

    however, two small issues remain;
    1) the warning text you added to the admin console

    Note: You must verify wheather your mailserver support secure connection or not.
    If your mailserver not support secure connection please set No for this option.

    and

    Note: for all common server option “No” will work, most of the time.

    is appearing as bright yellow font against a light grey background … making it nearly invisible.

    2) the mailbox password is being sent with special characters still escaped (e.g. 1e\G4 as 1e\\G4) … which obviously causes an [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED]

    thanks in advance!

    I believe so … the client has not said anything more.
    I’ll double check with them, if some issue still remains, I’ll post it here.
    Thank you for your diligent and swift handling of the issues … it is appreciated!
