gmail, mutt and msmtp fix
If you use mutt and smtp to access gmail . Here is a (bad) news. Cool guys at Google again changed certificate. Oh, did you ask – how do it know it ? Simple mutt started complaining about bad certificate when trying to use msmpt, infamous ‘msmtp: TLS certificate verification failed: the certificate hasn’t got a known issuer.’ greeted me on the screen.
To cross confirm –
Just run following
$ msmtp --serverinfo --host=smtp.gmail.com --tls=on --port=587 --tls-certcheck=off
In place of old Thwate Server now you get following in issuer segment
Issuer:
Common Name: Google Internet Authority
Organization: Google Inc
Country: US
Fortunately fix is simple, here is what you need to do on debian
# apt-get install ca-certificates
# dpkg -s ca-certificates|grep Version
Version: 20090814
After this just change following line in you ~/.msmtprc
tls_trust_file
to
tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt
