if you have a commercial cert, you don't need a self signed cert. self 
signed certs are for people who don't want to get a cert signed by a 3d 
party (commercial or other). For email, you generally don't need a 
commercial certificate because your users know you and you know them, 
and because users don't connect to thousand imap servers.
