Click "view certificate" on the next pop up box, select "install certificate" the next wizard that opens, choose "place all certificates in the following share" and choose "trusted root authorities" (thus, it's nice if your self signed cert has the correct hostname associated with it) once complete, no more security errors on outlook express. Repeat for ESMTP (port 465), etc. Works like a charm. of course, YMMV :-) Hope that helps, andy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
