[clue-tech] SSL IMAP

[Mike Staver]

I am a moron when it comes to the basics of SSL when it's not related to 
a website.  I would like to encrypt my email now that I have my new 
CentOS install completed.  I took some of your advice and I started 
using DoveCot along with Sendmail, and things seem to be going well.  I 
am currently using SSL, but it's a self signed cert obviously.  My 
question is, to get a signed cert do I have to pay Thawte or Verisign 
for it, or can I have anybody sign it to make the thunderbird warning go 
away?
