Can't you generate your own certificate?  There's no good reason
someone will trust it, but at least you can encrypt your mail
sessions...

Don't ask me how, 'cause I don't know, except for that there is a tool
that comes with java that will generate certificates.  Will gnupg do
this sort of thing?
