This is the primary reason that I'm considering going with a certificate from a recognized provider:

I see quite a number of SMTP servers out there that attempt to create a secure inbound connection with my Sendmail SMTP server, but do not because (I assume) I have a self-signed certificate.

Have any of you set up a SMTP server that is capable of secure transport of email messages between SMTP servers with a recognized provider certifier? If so, what percentage of servers actually use the secure transport when available and certified by a recognized provider?

Jeff,

I had the same situation a couple of months ago. I took a look at CACert, but they're not in any browsers yet and I really wanted something
that was. So, I went with http://www.freessl.com/. They'll give you a
free cert for 30 days to try it out and then their prices are very reasonable:
$39 for a year, with discounts if you buy longer terms.


Cheers,
Tanner

OK, I'm contemplating taking the plunge and buying a SSL Certificate for
my home (read: non-commercial) Web, SMTP, and IMAP servers instead of
using my self-signed certificates.

Does anyone have a non-Verisign related vendor that they prefer?  Is it
really worth the cost?
