  > For now they will just warn on it. In a few months they will send it to spam As a recipient of all kinds of mail, I'm okay with that. I'd rather not see that unencrypted email than have it QUANTUM INSERT'd or whatever the Chinese equivalent is.

We do not accept self-signed certificates. For a certificate to be valid it needs to chain up to a valid CA, like one in the Mozilla CA list.

    That's obviously for mail retrieval, so doesn't apply here.
