I'm trying a $10 per year rapidssl cert I bought through
namecheap.com.  I have seen it recognized by Firefox, Chromium, and my
Android browser.

There's a free provider that I want to try at startcom.org.  I tried to
use one on my personal Zimbra server.  Zimbra uses the cert when
talking between some of its services and Zimbra didn't recognize it.
Zimbra apparently has this problem with a few other certs and I didn't
have time to mess around with it the day I was trying this so I'm back
to a self signed on there.

Is anyone using one of these free startssl certs?
