What happens if you create an A record for mail.wrightbg.com in the internal 
DNS rather than using a CNAME?

I've just moved 10 Mac users from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2007. 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?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
