i've read a bit more of the SSL howto, and with your email i think i
understood.
I'm going to have to check the changes of getting some €€ for the cert.
I may chosse verysign, at last i think it's the more used one, as far i can
see in bank's in portugal (at least the one's i use), what's your opinion?

Jorge,
This is normal behaviour for self-signed certificates. The problem is
that a mail client doesn't know to trust the self-signed certificate,
because the mail client doesn't know to trust the signature.
A certificate signed by a recognised CA (Certification Authority) will
bypass this message, because Thunderbird (and Outlook Express, and other
SSL clients) have lists of "trusted" root CAs.
In Thunderbird, click "Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Security -> View
Certificates -> Authorities" to view the list of trusted authorities. The
Import button can be used to add additional authorities, but you will need
to do this for every user to avoid the message.
So, the choice reduces to:
1. paying someone on that list to sign your certificate, OR
2. adding yourself to that list on every workstation, OR
3. ignoring the message.
As stated earlier by Paul, any SSL howto will explain this more fully.
Michael.

I created the certificate using the script that is in the wiki.

Hi,
I've configured stunnel4 as the wiki in:
http://dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=stunnel
But when i try to connect to imap via SSL i have a warning like i show
in a attach picture.
Could this be a problem with outlook express, maybe deprecated, stunnel
or some dbmail-imapd problem?
I didn't tryed with tunderbird for example, going to download the setup
and install and try and i'll give some feedback.
Jorge
