I am aware opf this option but i also have reasons why i want to be notified about what hppens. So i'm ok with claws defaults.
The provider just now answered, that ATM both certs are valid and i should just wait until they complete the switch.
(that's all they said)
Can this be a safety measure so that someone, who for whatever reasons cannot update their certs immediately, have a 'grace time' to prepare ?
Like, maybe on the road running a strange device which does not do that. I don't know, it sounds weird, but maybe such a thing exists.
Anyway, they probably have not been aware that a mailer can allow only one cert, and will switch over the old and new again and again.
Which at the end of the day, with auto accept, would not even be a big issue, just some extra traffic.
But i also think that everything that works 'out of the order' could be something risky and at least i would like to know about it.
