Where to get a free S/MIME certificate

The two sites that I would recommend for getting free certs are Thawte and Comodo

CAcert is another site worth recommendation but their certs are not recognized by common mail clients; they work just fine but you have to understand how to import the CA root certificates. You can, of course, roll your own using OpenSSL or Mozilla NSS but that is a topic for another day.

Mozillazine have a good page on free certs.

[edit: Thawte service discontinued as of 16-Nov-2009]
