Encryption will be fine, but self signed just means you can't trust the other
end to be who they say they are.  But that's a call the BBS networks have to
make.

I'm not currently running binkps.  It's been a moving target, and as I've said,
I won't bother jumping through hoops and binkd doesn't yet support TLS natively
(that I'm aware of).
