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).


I can get email if I change the SSL settings to "Never," but I'd prefer to use SSL when it's available (as I have been). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
