Greetings i'm  trying to wrap pop3 with stunnell (ssl)
I'm using FreeBSD 3.4
stunnel 3.4a (from the ports)
qpopper 3.1

I start qpopper with the following options
"qpopper 192.168.5.1:110 -S"

Then stunnel starts up like so
"stunnel -d pop3s -r 192.168.5.1:pop3"

When trying to access mail through outlook express I
get the following message.
"The server you are connected to is using a security
certificate that does not match its internet address.
Do you want to continue using this server?"

I've read that IE and Netscape have a hard coded list
of Certificate Authorities. And you can get this
message if you haven't had your server certificate
signed by a CA such as verisign.  Is this an absolute
truth *or* is there a way around this?  Or am I just
way off?!

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance,
Ang
