[server-admins] Fwd: The certificate for www.crosswire.org will expire in 19 days

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Thanks Jonathan for the reminder about startcom.

I think the history of this is that we tried startcom after generating
our own certificates for years, but if I remember correctly, the
startcom cert still made us ok an exception for use of the certificate
in our clients?  I figured this was because startcom was not included in
the recognized authority list of our clients (thunderbird for me).

Anyway, we use these for internal use to secure our IMAPS and SVN over
HTTPS connections.  What is the general consensus for how we should renew?

Troy
