I’m trying to set up the reply by email feature, but am getting these errors in the logs:

`Job exception: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed`

I have a self signed cert, but SMTP on the same server/domain is working fine - any ideas why this might be happening?
