Good stuff!  :-)

> Bruce, are you still using comodo.net for your certificates? 

Yes.  I use it on my company's email server for the web interface.

The only problem I've found is I can't seem to make it work right with
secure IMAP, it always gives some warning when clients connect.  There
is probably something I have setup wrong.  Anyone?

> Is anyone using thawte? 

Yes, I use it on my company's web (e-commerce) server.
I would switch to comodo, but it'd cost us more to have our web 
designer switch the logo, than the savings on the cert.  :-/

I haven't done much with secure email, so I can't lend any advice.
