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. > The SMTP server is dispassionate about your certificates state. It simply > sends it.

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?
