Outlook 2000 security certificate problem

Stunnel was recently installed on all of our mail servers to allow secure access to the POP, IMAP and SMTP servers. Our servers run sendmail 8.11.3 on top of Solaris (2.6/2.8) and Linux (7.1). Our company uses netscape mail and Outlook 2000. Netscape mail users were able to update their server settings, accepted the security certificate generated after connecting to the server and all is well. Many of the Outlook 2000 users continue to receive two Internet Security Warnings every time they connect to their mail servers. One message reads "the server you are connecting to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. A certification chain processed correctly, but terminated in a root certificate that isn't trusted by the trust provider. Do you want to continue to use this server?" The other message reads "the server you are connecting to is using a security certificate that does not match its Internet address. Do you wnat to continue to use this server?" Users are given the option to click OK but the message continues to appear every time they open Outlook. This has affected about half of the employees in the company. The PCs and laptops are using Win2K/WinNT4 with the latest Office and IE service/security packs and all use DHCP. What is extremely strange is that many of the affected users have systems that are identical to unaffected systems. I have even generated new ssl certificates on the mail servers to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Terry,
Did you ever find the solution to this?
