It would be better for the base URLs to match. The R-help address is e.g.
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
If BioC linked to https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor
(which works) this particular warning would not appear. (If I could find
a webmaster address for BioC I would report it.)
(The certificate is not on Bioconductor nor on R's computers, but an ETHZ.
There have been suggestions to buy a commercial certificate for use on the
R project's mailing list and svn servers hosted by ETHZ, but AFAIK they
have all fizzled out.)

the ssl certificate on the archives at stat.math.ethz.ch is a
privately-generated certificate. that doesn't mean that there's anything
wrong with it, just that it isn't something that is "trusted" by the
keychains that come preloaded with your browser.

Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Bioconductor Security Certificate
Strange
Same thing happens on my kids Windows computer
I guess I do not understand as I do several secure websites per day and do
not see this message
I thought a certificate on my computer checks the certificate on the
sending
computer, if they match, page passes, if they do not match, message comes
up
indicating potential trouble, so to go to a secure page I must install the
proper certificate, but I have no certificate for Bio nor can I find one
So I asked <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> what to do...
Thank you

When I go to

And click on ©øweb

I get the message
You have attempted to establish a
connection with "'www.stat.math.ethz.ch".
However, the security

unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with>
this web site.
If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to
"www.stat.math.ethz.ch" please cancel the connection and notify the site
administrator.
How do I fix this?
This is normal with a connection to a
secure website. Bioconductor
does not maintain the website at
stat.ethz.ch.
Thank you
I tried to find a Bioconductor web
administrator and failed
This is not a problem and is not a bioconductor
problem. All web
browsers on all systems should behave something like
this.
