[Dovecot] SSL cert problems.

I'm really racking my brain trying to figure this one out here. I am
running a pop3 server for remote offices on CentOS 5.2. We purchased a
SSL cert from Verisign and installed it on our dovecot server, but I
continue to get failure problems with the cert and I don't know where to
go from here.
here is some info about our config:
dovecot version:
# dovecot --version
1.0.7
hostname: pop.x10.com
dovecot.conf:
# dovecot -n
# 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
protocols: pop3 pop3s
ssl_ca_file: /etc/pki/verisign/intermediate_ca.cer
ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/pop.x10.com.cer
ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/pop.x10.com.key
ssl_cipher_list: HIGH:MEDIUM:+TLSv1:!SSLv2:+SSLv3
verbose_ssl: yes
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
pop3_client_workarounds: outlook-no-nuls
auth default:
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
and last but not least, here is my test from openssl. Mind you this
fails as a "BAD" ssl cert in Evolution.
:~$ openssl s_client -ssl2 -connect pop.x10.com:995

As you can see, the certificate clearly fails. I don't know how to make
this work at this point. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly
appreciated.
