Additionally, you receive an error message that is generated by the WAP gateway of the telephone carrier.

Use one of the following methods to resolve this behavior:
- Send a request to the telephone carrier. Request that the WAP gateway of the telephone carrier trusts the SSL certificate for the user who issues the SSL certificate.
- Issue a new SSL certificate for the Exchange Server 2003 server. Make sure that the user who issues the SSL certificate is trusted by the WAP gateway of the telephone carrier.

This behavior is by design.

This behavior may also affect the Outlook Mobile Access users who use a direct connection to the Exchange Server 2003 server.
To resolve this behavior for these Outlook Mobile Access users, configure the clients to trust the SSL certificate issuer who issues the certificate.
