I'm sorry for jumping into this thread, but verify=FAIL is expected 
unless you have your ISP's certificate chain stored in the appropriate 
directory with the appropriate file names. /etc/ssl/certs would be a 
good place to store the certificates.

A command like this one can be used to generate the "hashed" file 
names:

ln -s certfile `openssl x509 -noout -hash < certfile`.0
