cname does not match

| Guus Ellenkamp 2005-11-17, 2:51 am |
| I am trying to set up a secure connection for my SMTP server. However, when
I try to send messages, I get the following error message:
The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.
How do I create the correct certificate?
server name: main.megaheights.net
I am using an e-mail server alias mail1.megaheights.net to identify this
server

| Errr. the cert command name in this case must be same with the actual mail
server alias.
mail and not mail1

| Well, how do you get the mail.xxx.com cert previously?
On the other hand, it is easier to change the mail1.xxx.com DNS record to
mail.xxx.com compare to re-generating the cert. is it possible?

| I am running my own certificate server (W2003), but don't know how to create
a certificate with this name. I just used the standard options.
I prefer to keep the name for future changes.
