            Bug ID: 253060
           Summary: sendmail submit is unable to verify certificate
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bicknell@ufp.org

If the user has configured SSL certificates for sendmail then when the send=
mail
submit service connects to localhost and receives the certificate it will be
unable to verify that certificate.  Specifically the user will find a log
message like this in their logs for every submitted e-mail:

STARTTLS=3Dclient, relay=3D[127.0.0.1], version=3DTLSv1.3, verify=3DFAIL,
cipher=3DTLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, bits=3D256/256

The fix is to add the following two lines to /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc:

define(`confCACERT_PATH',   `/etc/ssl/certs')dnl
define(`confCACERT',        `/etc/ssl/cert.pem')dnl

Then, assuming the user has a real certificate configured, they will get a
message like this:

STARTTLS=3Dclient, relay=3D[127.0.0.1], version=3DTLSv1.3, verify=3DOK,
cipher=3DTLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, bits=3D256/256

This does not change any mail delivery behavior, sendmail does not care if =
the
certificate is valid or not and does not alter behavior if it is or not.   =
This
only changes logging, and would reduce admin confusion when an admin has
configured a server cert.=20=20

I believe this is safe to add to /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc for all users =
in
the base distribution.
