SSL Cert problem with Outbreak

[Travis Roy]

I -think- if you turn off the warning in IE it will take care of that.. 
it's under the internet options, advanced tab, under security.. If that 
doesn't you'll have to "install" the cert as a trusted one, I don't 
recall how to do that off the top of my head.

I do the same thing and I just bit the bullet and bought a cert from 
freessl.com. I got a chainedssl cert.. worth every penny. I also use it 
for my webserver for secure access to my webmail setup.
