Out of interest, is there anyone on this list using a self sighned cert with a mailserver on the internet, using TLS.

The reason I ask this, is because I dont want to have to pay verislim and co, for something I know I can do myself. If anyone is using / doing this, have had any problems / or bad experiences by using TLS with mail delivery

Yes, you'll get encryption in spite of some minor errors, so it's worth it for connecting MTAs. But if you have enough users, getting a commercial certificate will suppress the nag screens. Setting up client software gets old fast, and there are plenty of cheap ($25 - $50) certificates that work well with newer mail clients.

You can also set up your own CA and install the certificate in client software, but you must be aware of all of the risks. This is not always appropriate for some environments.
