As Sam already said, Courier doesn't care what the certificate looks like. On another note, you really shouldn't use wildcard certificates since they pose a security risk. By design, the certificate matches *any* new hosts within the wildcarded domain, so you'll never be able to delegate sub-domains, among other peculiarities. Last but not least, AFAIK the wildcard scheme is an old proprietary Netscape invention and is not really standardized, so some clients might not understand it. My advice would be to use the "SubjectAlternativeName" (AKA "SubjectAltName") SSLv3 extension instead to list multiple host names (and IP addresses) specificly. Google may tell you more. Most browsers and mail clients handle this "SubjectAltName" extension correctly, just Opera (up to and including version 7) won't, although I already e-mailed Opera about this once.
