    you are assuming i have users and this is a mail server not a website which has a very different access pattern more analogous to ssh where TOFU works beautifully.

    for the use case of a single user IMAP server this is all way, way, too complicated and buys you nothing in terms of security. it's completely analogous to why we dont use CAs to v…

    bad summary. it prompted you to accept the certificate upon first use and then pinned it which is far different than what you are describing in terms of security implications.

    how are you renewing the LE certificate if the domain is resolving to an internal ip? this seems like a big hoop to jump through.

    unfortunately none of that applies to my setup. my imap server lives in a dmz and doesn't have all that other jazz.

    i'm just using a hardcoded private ip to connect to the imap server. are you saying i can get a certificate with a hostname of "*" that will match ANY ip address?
