' The GetSmtpSslServerCert method is deprecated:

' Do the equivalent using GetServerCert.
' Your application creates a new, empty Cert object which is passed 
' in the last argument and filled upon success.

' We want the SMTP email server certificate..

Dim success As Boolean = mailman.GetServerCert(useSmtp,certOut)
