Thanks all for the help. Today I installed courier-imap, and reconfigured
Exim for Maildir delivery, and I can now get mail out over POP3 + SSL.
Apple's OS X mail client and Mac Eudora 6b are working fine. (I had sort of
been wanting to try maildirs, and this way I can evolve to IMAP if I want,
so I will probably stick with this.)
Eudora for Windows is still hosed though. I did manually add my cert to the
trusted list but I still have this error to deal with:
SSL Negotiation Failed: Certificate bad: Destination Host name does not
match host name in certificate Cause (-6984)
Now, I am using a self-signed cert that I created with courier's shortcut
command, and this test system does not have a real hostname yet, which
seems like it would explain this error... but does anyone know a way to
tell Eudora to not care about bad certificates? Or better still, how do I
create a cert myself that satisfies Eudora? Will it even be possible to
when my mail server testbed is at 192.168.x.y, without a fully-qualified
hostname?
Getting real close now though, thanks to everyone!
