Ugh. Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words:

Now that I checked with some random signed mails on this list, it turns out my 
setup shows exactly the same symptoms as yours, i.e. it can't download 
certain CRLs and cacert's OCP doesn't work. To be frank, what I really needed 
S/MIME to work for are the bills my telco issues through e-mail. After 
installing dimngr and the relevant certificate, kmail recognizes signature in 
their bills correctly.

Funny thing is, kleopatra can and does download certain CRLs correctly using 
URLs embedded in a certificate, but can't do so for some others. And even if 
it can download a CRL, it then can't download the issuer certificate which 
makes it a bit useless. I haven't a clue how to proceed, as documentation 
seems a bit scarce.

As there are people on this list who use S/MIME signatures I guess it can be 
made to work. Perhaps someone could chime in?
