What is an acceptable SSL Cert vendor?

I use GoDaddy certs for all of my servers. The cost is low and it does the job for me just fine.

NorCalTechSupport,

An SSL cert from Go Daddy will work in the situation you describe. You can also call our 24/7 support group if you have any other questions concerning our certs. http://tr.im/gdsupport

Do you have some degree of control over the client boxes, or the cooperation of the users that are accessing your web mail? If so, and if you're willing to learn a little about the Certificate Assistant and some related pieces, you don't need to purchase a commercial certificate.

If you have "cooperating" clients, you can create your own root CA, register the root CA in the clients, and issue all the certs you need yourself.

The central value you get with a commercial certificate purchase is a root CA for that vendor that's already embedded in most browsers; a degree of trust exists in the browser. And if you can generate and register your own root CA cert and if you trust yourself...

Mac OS X Server has all the tools needed, too; start with Certificate Assistant.

I or somebody else can post up details here, if you do have cooperative clients.
