The web engine is probably on the mail server. IIS wouldn't be relevant. I'd at least have an NGINX proxy to secure it from the outside work, then the only unencrypted communication is between two adjacent severs.
The HTTPS warning you're talking about is a self signed one. It'd be like the cop telling you he's not a cop. The mail server doesn't speak HTTPS which is your issue. More than likely your address bar had https instead of http. Safe browsing would give you a different error.
