Bizarre if that is the cause.
I don't think you have a problem. As far as I can tell, it goes like
this:
Apple Mail starts SSL login.
Apple Mail finds that it can't verify the certificate (because it's
self signed).
Apple Mail presents a dialogue asking the user to accept or otherwise
the certificate.
The user accepts.
Apple Mail cancels the login it previously started.
Apple Mail starts a new SSL login.
Login succeeds (because certificate has been verified).
That's why you get the spurious log entries (at least, that's why I
get the exact same log entries) - but as Mark has indicated, there's
no issue.
There is a way of importing the self signed certificate to the
keychain of the Mac running the Mail client, then it won't ask the
user to verify the certificate. I forget how to do this - but if self
signed certificates are your problem, once you've achieved the import
the "problem" will go away.
