Hi,

I?m trying to set up qpopper with TLS and when trying to connect to port 995 the connection is refused immediately and mail log shows:

Mar 11 11:39:52 server -d[7178]: Error setting private key PEM file /etc/postfix/certs/mail_signed_cert.pem [pop_tls_openssl.c:387]
Mar 11 11:39:52 server -d[7178]: ...SSL error: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line [pop_tls_openssl.c:387]
Mar 11 11:39:52 server -d[7178]: ...SSL error: error:140B0009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:missing asn1 eos [pop_tls_openssl.c:387]
Mar 11 11:39:52 server -d[7178]: Failed initializing TLS/SSL [popper.c:199]

Can anyone give me a hint on this one? :-)

Thanks in advance,

Oliver

IANE, but here are two check'ems:

Check that you openssl installed
Check that you have the keys generated

good luck

OpenSSL is working, the certs in this case are third-party certs from comodo which imho should work?!?!

Or am I missing something? :-)

Ok at least now I got this working:

server:~# telnet localhost 995
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.4) at server starting. <30330.1079029659@server>

and test as user is working. But when I?m trying to connect with an external mailclient it doesn?t work. The only thing the log is giving me:

-ERR Unknown command: "\200\222^A^C^A". [pop_get_command.c:152]

Does anyone know this error and what to do against it? :-)
