//*Note//: The warning is displayed due to each secure certificate has to be verified against the server name that you connect to. If you connect to mail.yourdomain.com, your mail application will warn you as the certificate belongs to someone else like *.agnx.com. You can safely accept the certificate that is coming from agnx.com as it is AfterOffice Global Network Exchange domain.
