Cron job error message

    I’m having trouble getting the cron job to work correctly.

    I have it installed like this:
    */2 * * * * cd /home/denbowor/public_html/athenshigh62.net; php -q wp-cron.php

    But, I’m getting this error message:
    Error connecting to imap:Certificate failure for mail.athenshigh62.net: Server name does not match certificate: /OU=GT97156937/OU=See https://www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)13/OU=Domain Control Validated – RapidSSL(R)/CN=www14.qth.com<br>Failed: Connecting to mail server <br>

    In recent correspondence with my hosting provider, I’m told:

    “Now you are getting into ‘way out of scope for the hosting provider’ territory.

    “I don’t know anything about the script you are trying to run, so can’t tell you how to configure it. There IS a valid SSL certificate installed for mail.athenshigh62.net. But maybe it will make your script happier if you change the mail server name to www14.qth.com? Or Localhost? I have no idea. People use WordPress to send zillions of mails every day… don’t know why this is so complicated. I don’t understand the need to run wp-cron every 2 minutes either.”

    Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated.

    This plugin is a group email plugin. It reads emails from inbox and then delivers it to a list of users. Wp_cron is needed because the plugin has to check after certain time, whether a new email has arrived or not. There is no way a plugin can know when a new email reaches inbox, thats cron is needed to check.

    Right now you are not having problems with cron but with connecting to email inbox. It seems that the inputs you provided in group settings is not correct. May i ask which hosting server you are on? Also please tell me what settings you have for incoming mail server and port so i can advice.

    You can email me your dashboard administrator login details at support at wpmailinggroup.com , i am happy to resolve the problem for you.
