As long as you obtain your S/MIME certificate from an apporved CA, using an approved payment method and appropriate identification..... IIRC Thawte has a procedure for authenticating their free certificates by proxy: A Thawte certificate holder certifies that s/he has seen the credentials of some other certificate holder, in absence of a physical Bank or Notary Public. Both the certifier and certified gain points by this validation process. > Here's to hoping, > --Lucky Indeed. -=c=- -- contrary [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/quotes.html
