Please post in plain-text... - 

Your error: "[Hint: Subject CN in certificate not server name or
identical to CA!?]"

means: the Common Name in the certificate is not the same as the
ServerName in the URL - e.g. the certificate belongs to www.abcdef.com
but you are using it in a server whose URL is www.uvwxyz.com. This makes
the browser think your site is impersonating another site and so throws
a warning.

Where did you get the cert? Is it self-signed? If so, make a new one
with the correct server name.

PS  How did you remove the "Reply-To" header which normally directs the
replies back to the list? This is supposed to be a public mailing list,
not your private resource. You are supposed to share the replies with
others and allow them to go in the archive. Anyway, I cahnged it back...
