I just remembered how you can test it. Use certificate that your browser
won't trust. Then enter https://mail.domain.com/ and you will first get this
prompt http://freeweb.siol.net/mpihler/certnottrusted.jpg -- this prompt is
asking me, do I really want to use SSL with untrusted certificate. If I
chose yes SSL is established and I get this prompt
http://freeweb.siol.net/mpihler/logon.jpg.
