I do the same thing and I just bit the bullet and bought a cert from freessl.com. I got a chainedssl cert.. worth every penny. I also use it for my webserver for secure access to my webmail setup.

Hi all - I have a (linux related) Outlook/Outlook Express question for
anybody who feels like taking a stab at it. I've set up a mail server
for some folks who want to securely pop the messages down. Easy enough,
I installed the ipopd-ssl package (this is a debian box). It set up a
"fake" certificate and away we go.
Here's the problem. Outlook is complaining every time they connect
about the fact that the certificate isn't signed by a recognized
authority. Not only that, but the folks who have it automatically check
for new mail every 10 minutes or so are getting the pop up message every
time it checks for the mail! With evolution (which I use), the first
time it pops up, it gives me the info about the certificate and asks if
I want to accept it. I say yes and I don't hear about it again.
Does outlook have some facility like this?
They'd rather not shell out the money for a "real" certificate...
