I am using KDE 3.5 and Kmail on my 9.3 Suse. Everyday I get following information when sending my first email of the day.
The server certificate failed the authenticity test (smtp.telkom.net).
After entering "continue" I get following question.
Would you like to accept this certificate forever without being prompted?
After entering my choice of accepting "forever" I am ready for sending my email.
This happens for two of my isp's. Next day I have to go through the same practice so I wonder what "forever" means in this respect and how I can get rid of this server certificate question.
It probably means these isps use self-signed certs, and your client doesn't recognize the CA (Certificate Authority). Either ask these isps to start using certs which are signed by a known CA, or import the server certificate from these isps and let the client s/w know where to find it. In Kmail: Tools -> Certificate manager This start Kleopatra (in 9.2 anyway): File -> Import Certificates. (Not tested, I don't use kmail myself). Theo -- Theo v.
