Philipp,

I'm confused. According to your statement (above) binding server 
certificates to an individual is not a good idea. Yet all organizational 
certificates issues by CAcert seem to do this:
...
Subject: C=NL, L=Groningen, O=The-Box Development, 
CN=<someserver>.the-box.com/emailAddress=j.kersing AT the-box.com
...

As you might be able to imagine I would much rather use a generic e-mail 
address in the certificates, not my personal address. However, I have not 
found a way to change this. My mistake or is it not possible?

Best regards,

Jac
