Hello,
Could you please start using a "normal" certificate on https://mail.fsfeurope.org ?
It feel frustrated when I advocate about FSFE and try to get new Fellows, and when I meet some of the people later they say they tried to start by joining the mailing list, but since there was a certificate error, they stopped and later forgot to try again. It's not nice to loose potential new Fellows because of this..
I too think CA-cert is a good idea, but we shouldn't use it before the root certificate gets accepted at least into Firefox. There is no point in trying to promote CA-cert in a way where visitors don't even see any text explaining why we have this errors and what CA-cert is about.

Last November I asked you to use an proper SSL/TLS-certificate on the Fellowship-join page, so that potential new Fellows whould not be put off by the SSL warnings their browser gave.
You fixed that - thanks!
Now I'd ask you to get a proper certificate also for the mailing list server too.
I've noticed that some people who would like to subscribe to the fsfe-fi@-list don't do it because of the security warning they get when they visit the page https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-fi
It should be as easy and safe as possible for people to join our mailing list, so that our announcements etc will reach maximum amount of interested people.
