The complaint about the self signed certificate disappears when I do that.
So, it seems the problem is that openssl does not recognize the CA cert.

Hmmm.  I was testing this because Outlook is not able to send a
test message through my server.  It was able to get email using
pop3s which uses the same certificate so Outlook does know about
the root CA.

I am not sure how to fix what is going on.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
