How to use CAcerts with S/MIME in Mail
CAcert is a great organization, although their website has a few annoying bugs. It's nice to see a free certificate authority out there with a decent shot at gaining widespread acceptance. I use their certs for second tier hosts that don't need broad compatability. (my irc server and my mail server for example).
Keep in mind, though, that just because you have imported CAcert's root certificate into your keyring, most people have not. Sending a signed email using a CAcert issued key will still yield a scary "cannot verify" warning in the recipient's mail reader unless they have also imported the CAcert root certificate. For the vast majority of people, this will be the case. I recommend Thawte's system which is also free but has the strength of a widely-deployed root certificate. With a free key from Thawte just about any recipient will be able to trust the authenticity of the signature.
