Hi!
I unfortunatly add a certificat to the plesk mail server, following plesk sugestions. I want to remove oit as with wildcard certificat i had better service for my clients. Triied your suggestion but it does not work, i have this message:
Unable to remove SSL/TLS certificates.
One of the certificates you are going to delete is used for securing the mail server.
How can i handle that?
Thx for your help!
