Huh? I am looking to implement client side certificates which have to be 
installed on the end user device before they are able to connect to my 
mailserver.

I already have a commercial cert on the mailserver so that's a moot point.  
Secondly a client cert allows me to verify that the device connecting is 
allowed, this is secondary to any login info the user may have, ie 2 factor 
authentication, something you know (uid/password) and something you have 
(certificate).
