I also will not do business with Verisign.  Their attempted hijack of
all unclaimed domains via DNS in September 2003 and the grief they caused 
every email sysadmin on the planet remains fresh in my memory. 
I moved all of my SSL cert business to Entrust after that disaster.
Res described them very well in his rant.

BTW, I have not installed 4.60.3 yet.  Screwing up our mail system right
before commencement would be an RGE (Resume Generating Event).  I'll
get to it next week.
