Well as the title says as google has not provided a solution to use self signed certs on gmail<\/a> I begin to change my habits on reading mail, returned to use mutt (and my mutt-fu skills are very rusted) keep using thunderbird at home, and worse Dreamhost still has not provided a good solution<\/a> as they state the same I think<\/a> \u00abwhy I need to pay $ to get a cert signed and pay more $$$ to get a wild cart cert?\u00bb, that is what I will need for my servers at work.<\/p>\n

\\vicm3,vicm3@foo.bar<\/pre>\n
That last I have not tested but the best reference I got was from here [1], probably worth the try if you had similar needs and no root access ;)<\/p>\n
