I've got a verisign'ed certificate for our webserver. According to Microsoft explorer/outlook, it can be used for verifying the servers identity, but not for mail. I've used this certificate to sign a new certificate, and Microsoft recognizes it and the trust chain, and will use it for verifying the servers identity, but not for mail. According to openssl x509, both certificates are usable for smime. Can I use the webserver certificate to make mail-certificates, or is it because the root CA at verisign is not for mail, then none of its children can be for mail?
