Hi Michael,

Followed your instructions and it works like a charm. Thank you!

Hi Arie,

Very well. But why does ...

https://www.ceelie.info/
https://mail.ceelie.info/
https://ceelie.info/

... bring up a webpage(s) with a self-signed certificate?

See:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ceelie.info&hideResults=on&ignoreMismatch=on&latest

> As for the hosting DNS, these are the settings.

Take a look at this: https://www.blueonyx.it/dns-for-email

The righthand side of the DNS MX records (where it points to) must the
the FQDN of the Vsite as shown in the Vsite List.

So in your case that should be "www.ceelie.info<http://www.ceelie.info>" and not just
"ceelie.info". The reason for this is how Sendmail/Postfix match the
email aliases to local user accounts.

Here is a third party site for checking TLS:

https://www.checktls.com/

When I try it against a correctly configured 5210R or 5211R it checks
out just fine.

When I test it against admin at ceelie.info it errors out because you have
a self-signed SSL certificate in your certificate chain:

--------------------------------------------------------------
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
subject=C = NL, L = Leiden, O = Ceelie, CN = mail.ceelie.info,
emailAddress = elpadre at ceelie.info
issuer=C = NL, L = Leiden, O = Ceelie, CN = mail.ceelie.info,
emailAddress = elpadre at ceelie.info

--------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure the GUI of the BlueOnyx has a valid SSL certificate (Let's
Encrypt or other), too. Because in an SNI environment the GUI cert is
the first certificate in the SNI certificate chain.

So I see three issues:

- DNS best practices for BlueOnyx not followed
- BlueOnyx GUI has no valid SSL certificate
- Vsite itself seems to have a self-signed certificate

Yes, because that OpenSSL client command has the option "-starttls smtp"
for checking SMTP specifically.

Use this to check the web based TLS:

openssl s_client -connect <URL-or-IP>:443

Or this to check the GUI HTTPS:

openssl s_client -connect <URL-or-IP>:81

I'm not sure what you're doing there, but either you're not supplying
the correct information and the Vsite name is different than
"www.ceelie.info<http://www.ceelie.info>" and/or you're not following the instructions and best
practices for BlueOnyx.

If you want, contact me offlist and/or supply a "Support Request" via
the GUI with "Allow access" ticked and I'll take a look directly at the
server.
