    Certificate error with secure SMTP

    Quick stupid question if someone who has ran into this may have a quick answer.

    I've got a domain hosted on cpanel30 and I've got an account set up in MS Outlook 2003 to send email using secure SMTP (via port 465).

    Everything works well, outgoing email goes through but the very first time an email is sent via this account after starting Outlook, the message box attached pops up.

    Is there anything I can configure (change) so that Outlook doesn't prompt me with that? It doesn't show up on subsequent outgoing emails through that account... unless I restart Outlook.

    I've set the outgoing server name to "cpanel30.gzo.com" instead of "mydomain.com" thinking that the certificate might be assigned that way and that's what Outlook is complaining about, but that still gives me the warning.

    Can I add "cpanel30.gzo.com" somewhere as a trusted site/domain somehow? I'll try to look around a bit...

    TIA for any help on this.

    You are likely getting that error because the certificate is self-generated, not an actual certificate.

      Ahh, OK, that makes sense.

      No problem; I'll deal with it in that case. I just wish there was an (Outlook) option somewhere to "Accept this certificate for this host in the future and stop complaining about it". I know other email clients (Thunderbird) has that... so perhaps I'll just migrate this account to there.

      Thanks.
