Apple's Mail.app checks certs on SSL-based mail server connections.
It has the good - but also bad - feature that it *always* asks for
user approval if it gets a cert it doesn't like.
Fixed in Leopard. Certificate handling in general appears to be
better -- although I can't be sure Tiger didn't let you fiddle with
fine-grained entitlements as to when to trust a cert.
