[Mono-dev] sending smtp email under SSL

[Gonzalo Paniagua Javier]

Try setting the certificate validation callback.

If you're running mono from HEAD (if you don't know what this is, you
are not):

---------------
        // This will trust *any* certificate
        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
        delegate(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain
        chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
        {
        	return true;
        }
-------------

If you're running mono 2.4.2.1 or earlier check out
http://www.mono-project.com/UsingTrustedRootsRespectfully and here's the
sample:
------------------------
public class NoCheckCertificatePolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
    public bool CheckValidationResult (ServicePoint a, X509Certificate
b, WebRequest c, int d)
    {
      return true;
    }
}
...
ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new NoCheckCertificatePolicy ();
----------------------
