Email Settings: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

[/b]Anyone,

I already have Gmail with TTLS setup correctly with my other sites however I getting an error from my NOP site.

I know (think) I have it configured correctly but why am I seeing this error?
I do not have a SSL certificate for this site [b]but I do for another?

Does my SSL certificate from Godaddy propagate down to my NOP store?

If so how do I fix this message so I can send and receive emails in GMAIL.


smtp.gmail.com. (with dot at end)
Port 587 - everything else fails port 25 blocked
SSL checked
Use default credentials: checked

Obviously my user name and password.

here's the link how to set up email from gmail.

If I try to avoid SSL by turning it off I get this:


The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. dw1sm5376066qab.4

run> mmc.exe certmgr.msc >Tructed Root cert >

I have 3 LOCAL Webserver Certificates with Private KEY(s) and one Remote SSL Go Daddy SSL Certificate.


What do I have to do besides going into my garage and getting out the sledge hammer? :0

My webserver uses DKIM for every outgoing mail.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) protocol for authenticating outgoing emails

Hymm, Since my webserver uses my IP as verification that its really me sending out emails to avoid spoofs
and I also remembered in addition I use DKIM in my DNS also, which is a hell of a long string of funky characters.

Now that being said is there anyway to add this DKIM string into the code sendmail? Outgoing spammers don't really have a chance with me.

I believe this could be it but the Certificate message keeps throwing me off. My DKIM is just plain text and not a certiifcate.

This one is for the masters of NOP.

I don't now about the cert error, but have you tried unchecking " Use default credentials"

yes, no dice.

I checked the log files in admin:

I noticed "SSL"




Error sending e-mail. The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

Mike,

the best troubleshooting article I could find so far is this one:-

I'm just attempting the same thing myself. - I'll let you know how I get on
