Smartermail certificate change ?

  1. Did smartermail change its web certificates?

    Today I am getting the following warning message from Thunderbird apparently asking me to change the digital certificate for my site email server (SMTP).
    I am not an expert on mail so I'm not sure if this is a hacker trying to take control of my mail server. Any advice is appreciated.

    Note: (my domain name is removed from the screen shot for security)

    If I click the "View Certificate" button I see this.

  2. More info...

    In the Winhost Control Panel

    Site Info panel list this
    SMTP/POP/IMAP: mail.MyDomainName.com

    when I click on the Site Tools icon for Email, it lists the following
    Email Information:
    SMTP: m06.internetmailserver.net
    POP3: m06.internetmailserver.net
    IMAP: m06.internetmailserver.net
    Webmail: m06.internetmailserver.net

    Apple and Thunderbird have issued an update to force everyone to use TLS/SSL with their email clients.

    Fortunately we do have a SSL Certificate installed on our mail server that you can use with your email client.

    To get to the new host name. You need to log into the control panel.

    Click
    on Sites tab

    Click on your site account.

    Click
    on Email icon.

    In this case you will need to change your incoming and outgoing host names to: ##.internetmailserver.net
