rbeuker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I've been using my spamcop e-mail account for many years now, I really like it a lot! To retrieve my e-mail I've been using the pop.spamcop.net server and about 6 months ago or so I set it to use SSL to connect to that server (using port 995). This has always been working great. Since a few days, however, my e-mail client (Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.17) is giving me warnings about issues with the SSL certificate for pop.spamcop.net. Is this a known issue, or should I change anything on my end? Thanks, Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Betsy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It looks like about 1 year ago (in September, however), there were also problems with an expired certificate. I am not a client of the email system so I don't know how you would go about sending in a trouble ticket - copied from another topic about other problems with pop servers "have you tried the "Problem" button within SpamCop's Webmail screen? That it the best way recently to get support for the Webmail system." OTOH, an expired certificate should not prevent the email system from working, I understand. If no one else chimes in, then maybe it would be worthwhile to check and make sure nothing has changed on your end. Miss Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Use "mail.spamcop.net" instead of "pop" and your problem should disappear. The security cert is for "mail" -- not for "pop" and doesn't expire until April 2009. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmitt Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Use "mail.spamcop.net" instead of "pop" and your problem should disappear. The security cert is for "mail" -- not for "pop" and doesn't expire until April 2009. I'm getting the same problem, with OS X Mail. Changing to "mail.spamcop.net" doesn't help; it still uses the certificate issued to "pop.spamcop.net". The error isn't expiry. The error is that there is no root certificate. It says: pop.spamcop.net Issued by Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority Expires: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 3:04:08 PM US/Central This certificate was signed by an unknown authority I checked the keychain, and the only Go Daddy certificate is a different one, for "Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority".

DavidT Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I just tested using Thunderbird (2.0.0.0), using both server names (I was examining the certs using HTTPS connections previously). When I used "mail.spamcop.net" and SSL, I got the mismatch error, and saw that it was a GoDaddy cert for "pop," so I switched to "pop.spamcop.net" with SSL and grabbed my messages without an error. My Pegasus client wasn't so picky...it did SSL popping using either hostname without complaining. I'll try updating my Thunderbird and see if that makes any difference. [on edit] I updated to 2.0.0.17, restarted Thunderbird and it's happy doing an SSL pop on port 995 of pop.spamcop.net, but if anyone's experience is different than that, they should use the "Problem" report funtion in webmail.

ViRGE Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Is anyone else seeing this? Somehow the SSL certificate for imap.spamcop.net has expired and been replaced with a very old certificate. The certificate I'm seeing via Outlook is a GoDaddy certificate valid from ‎Friday, ‎September ‎28, ‎2007 1:03:19 PM to ‎Tuesday, ‎September ‎28, ‎2010 1:03:19 PM. I'm not sure what's going on there. It seems odd that such an old certificate is being used, never mind the fact that it's somehow been reinstalled some 8 months after it expired.
