Error report SSL.CertificateError mailinabox.email versus hostname of box

1

I started getting the following error in my status report email at 3am. I am running MIAB 0.53a.

Not sure what triggered this unless the latest recommended system updates for the OS?
Thanks for any insight.

Why is anything in your configuration looking for mailinabox.email?

I have no idea.

This is the first time I have seen this error message in my console messaging ever. I have a standard install of 0.53a but did the latest OS updates that the system was telling me to install.

The output on 6/25 said:
System – Previously:

:heavy_multiplication_x: There are 1 software packages that can be updated.
linux-libc-dev (4.15.0-147.151)

System – Currently:

:heavy_multiplication_x: System updates have been installed and a reboot of the machine is required.

Output on 6/26 said:
System – Previously:

:heavy_multiplication_x: System updates have been installed and a reboot of the machine is required.

System – Currently:

✓ System software is up to date.

And the output of 6/27 was the messaging at the top.

Standard would be using MiaB exactly as it configures itself, including using MiaB as the name server.

Not sure I understand? :slight_smile: -
The only deviation I have is using external DNS but that has been the case for multiple versions of MIAB over the years for me. Just not sure where this is picking this up from and why now?

6

The best I can recommend is to track down why MiaB is doing anything with the domain mailinabox.email. This is something you may have done when you first set the box up or were doing some kind of testing?

My point is that I can’t know what your configuration is, and the term you had used conflicted with how it is typically used and the post information.

This is part of the status checks’s check for a new version of Mail-in-a-Box.

But there must be some local configuration issue because it appears that mailinabox.email is resolving malinabox.email to box.fullmoonmanor.net (the error message suggests the HTTP connection is going to a server replying with a certificate for that hostname), which I assume is your box.

8

maybe it had trouble resolving the hostname with my external dns provider and somehow used the local box as the destination?

Not sure?
