Hi all.

Usually for in-house use and SSL I would just generate a self-signed 
certificate because most clients either ignore it or only ask the first 
time the account is configured.

In terms of offering the service to our customers is there any value of 
getting someone like thawte or instantssl to sign a certificate for 
imaps/pop3s/smtp?

Also, is there a configuration directive for dovecot to add the issuers 
ca bundle similar to apache's SSLCACertificateFile?

And thanks for writing such a kick-arse imap server.  It blows courier 
out of the water!
