I use a self signed cert with no problems. The only caveat I know is you will want to expose on a website a Root CA cert which you use to sign the MTA Cert. Windows users can then "install" the Root CA as a trusted source. This eliminates all the errors and prompts most users will receive in Outlook.

I do it, I don't see many problems (I have seen a few, and then I put them into my "don't do TLS" file).
