    This warning appears because the certificate being used is NOT for your specific domain – it’s for ‘mail.domain.com’. This is a normal warning which you can accept to continue the setup.

  18. If you’d like to confirm which certificate is attempting to be installed, click the View Certificate… button.
    On the next popup, you’ll see the certificate is issued to ‘mail.dreamhost.com’ – all Dido Internet customers can use this as their mail certificate:
