I've re-read this thread several times over and am still having a problem. My SME5.5 server is set to public mode. My Outlook Express is configured to use port 465. Certificate was successfully imported. When I am on the LAN, I am able to make an SSL SMTP connection and send out emails. Yet, when I tunnel in by dial-up, the server seems to terminate the connection rather hastely. Regular pop (110) works fine. The above factors lead me to believe that this is not a certificate issue, but rather server security issue. Any bright ideas? The OE error msg is as below. Any help would be appreciated.
