We are already sorting out a CACert certificate for the CMS and other
stuff. I didn't think to raise this earlier, but it might be worth
looking at getting a commercial SSL certificate in order to avoid the
warnings, especially if we are using it for mail. Jim, what do you
think?

Also, is there an issue with using the same SSL certificate across 2
different IP addresses? Potentially we'd have 1 IP for
mail.climatecamp.org.uk (at nologic) and another IP for the rest
(tachanka).

I think it's worth spending some money on this though. An extra IP
address shouldn't cost too much.

However, there is an issue about what people go to check mail. At the
moment I think a lot of people use http://mail.nologic.org/ - this has
no SSL. Presumably if we get SSL, that would only apply to
http://mail.climatecamp.org.uk/, so we'd need some way to ensure people
go there. Alternatively, we could basically give nologic whatever money
they need to set up SSL for mail.nologic.org, and then make
mail.climatecamp.org.uk just redirect there.

Thoughts?
