Was this first time you’ve tried to run mail on tiger? If not what did you change? I’ve got a similar problem on a a test Tiger server I’m running here – happened after upgrading to 10.4.1!

It seems Tiger Server adds an entry for tls_common_name in the /etc/imapd.conf file when you play around in the ‘Mail’-‘Advanced’-‘Security’ section of Server Admin, and once you reset the changes back it does not remove the setting entry but just leaves it blank.

I just put in the AppleShare name of my server and it worked fine.

This helped me

tls_cert_file: disabled
tls_key_file: disabled
tls_common_name: mailhost.mydomain.com
