You may be able to get a modified cert with a SAN (Subject Alternative Name) pointing to corp-exchange07.wrightbg.com so that either name would work w/o warning.

They are using Apple's "Mail" to connect to email. After a morning of fiddling and reconfiguring client programs, I have them successfully moving mail. I'm left with two difficulties. The first involves a purchased cert. The cert is in the name mail.wrightbg.com, which is our "external" DNS name for the server. There is also a CNAME record set up in our internal DNS pointing "mail" to the server's real name, "corp-exchange07". I have the Macs configured to go to mail.wrightbg.com and they find the server OK, but they report a certificate error, stating that the cert is mail.wrightbg.com, but the server is corp-exchange07.wrightbg.com. The second problem that they're encountering is that when they try to send an email after being idle for a bit, the server is prompting them for a password. They can log in OK, but the extra typing is a bit much to ask. Ideas?
