I think you need to set yourself up as a certificate authority and have
the people (clients) on the intranet import your certificate authority
(CA) into their browsers and E-Mail clients. Once that it done, you use
your certificate authority thing to sign your cert(s). Since you are a
"certificate authority" as far as the web browser is concerned, all of
the cert(s) you sign with your "certificate authority" are trusted.
(I don't know exactly how to do this, just know what the admins in the
UMass CS Dept. set up for internal https and imaps servers.)
