Can't enable incoming email for document library after upgrade from WSS 3.0 SP1 to Search Server Express 2008

Question

I submitted this as a bug on Microsoft Connect, but I thought I'd try posting here to see if anyone else has run across this error and knows how to fix it.

 

I have a couple of document libraries that can accept incoming email. Since upgrading from WSS 3.0 SP1 to Search Server 2008, I am unable to enable incoming email for new document libraries, however the ones previously configured in WSS 3.0, still work fine.  

When I attempt to enable incoming email for a document library I get this error:

The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

I can, however, still send email to the document libraries that were setup before the upgrade to Search Server 2008.

The event log shows this error:
31:57.8    w3wp.exe (0x0D94)                         0x0CF4    Windows SharePoint Services     General                         8nca    Verbose     Application error when access /_layouts/EmailSettings.aspx, Error=The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure. at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartSendAuthResetSignal(ProtocolToken message, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest, Exception exception)     at System.Net.Security.SslState.CheckCompletionBeforeNextReceive(ProtocolToken message, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)     at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartSendBlob(Byte[] incoming, Int32 count, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)     at System.Net.Security.SslState.ProcessReceivedBlob(Byte[] buffer, Int32 count, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)     at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartReadFrame(Byte[] buffer, Int32 readBytes, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)     at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartRec...    

System setup:
Dell Dual 3.0GHz Xeon processors
VMWare Server 1.0 with 1.5 GB RAM allotted to sharepoint image
Windows Server 2003 SP2
SQL 2005 SP2 (on different machine)
Advanced installation of WSS 3.0 SP1 upgraded to Search Server Express 2008
Exchange 2007 SP1 (on different machine) - For outgoing mail
SMTP (IIS) for incoming email

 

This is what I'm doing to get this error:

 

To enable incoming email on document library:
Click on document library.
Click Settings > Document Library Settings
Click Incoming e-mail settings under "Communications"
Options selected:
Allow this document library to receive email? Yes
Email address: [e-mail]
Group attachments in folders? Save all attachments in folders grouped by e-mail sender
Overwrite files with the same name? No
Save Original e-mail? Yes
Save meeting invitations? No
E-mail security policy? Accept e-mail messages based on document library permissions
Click OK
This is when I get the error: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

 

Any thoughts, ideas, fixes, helpful info are appreciated.
