There are several host names that currently share the same IP but the certificate will be checking the name you are using against the name spamcop is using. To be honest, I don't remember spamcop having SSL enabled on POP, but my memory has been failing me recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say it does actually work but only after receiving the error thanks oooooooooooh sussed it..... thanks for the pointer. In my original email from spamcop they say to use mail.spamcop.net. Yet i just did a search and found pop.spamcop.net ... when i use that it works great!!! Thanks SteveUnderwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try pop.spamcop.net and see if it improves any. I know there is SSL for IMAP connections (imap.spamcop.net) but am not aware of SSL for POP. mail.spamcop.net=pop.spamcop.net=imap.spamcop.net=216.154.195.50 at this time. They were separated for future expansion. I would assume the SSL cert for the POP server would be for pop.spamcop.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
