The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Eudora 6.1 Certificate stopping Access

Asked by ewiseman in Eudora Email Client

Tags: , ,

Apologies in advance for the long post, but I don't know where to turn.

I was running ZoneAlarm 4.5 with Eudora 6.1 (with SSL, when available) with Norton Antivirus 2004 and everything was just fine.  The afternoon of May 24th, I got the pop up that ZoneAlarm 5 was available, and I upgraded.   Now, all of a sudden, there is a new Server Certificate in my Eudora that stops all mail (incoming and outgoing).  I find it hard to believe that there is a connection to the ZA update, but nothing else changed in my settings, and it was a problem immediately after the upgrade.  I did not do a clean install of ZA 5, but I doubt that would remove the Eudora Certificate.  Turning off ZoneAlarm does not help.

Here are my Eudora errors from the Certificate Information Manager.  Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Logging into POP Server, CAPA:
SSL Negotiation Failed:  Certificate Error:  Cert Chain not trusted.  Try adding this certificate to your certificate database for SSL to succeed.  Unknonw certificate chain validation error: Code(0)   Certificate bad: Destination Host name does not match host name in certificate.  One certificate in the server cert chain has Expried.    Cause:  (-21300051040)


The Certificate in question is a Server Certificate (and example.com is not my localhost):

US, NY, New York, Courier Mail Server, Automatically-generated POP3 SSL key, localhost, postmaster@example.com

Valid from April 10, 2003 through April 9, 2004.


This was not a problem until May 24, 2004, so I suspect this Certificate was not installed prior to that date.

I have tried Adding it to the Trusted Area, and I still can't download Email because, although it's trusted, it has expired.   Adding it as Trusted produces this error:

SSL Negotiation Failed:  Unknown certificate chain validation error:  Code(0) But ignoring this error because Certificate is trusted.  Certificate bad:  Destination Host name does not match host name in certificate.  One certificate in server cert chain has Expired.  Cause:  (-21300501040)


I've looked for this certificate everywhere, tried to find out if it's spyware or a virus, etc.  and I can't find anything regarding what it is or how to remove it.  All I find is how to make this certificate if you're a Courier user (I'm not) in a Linux environment (still not).
