Hello Charles -

Thanks for sending the debug, which does appear to indicate a problem  
with the certificate at one end or the other.

We are always happy to work with vendors to sort out any issues, so  
please feel free to discuss this with them and let us know if they  
would like to work with us.

BTW - why do they consider Radiator "not ideal"?

regards

Hugh
