Securing you Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server via SSL
100% doable, but set up the certificates based on The Apache-SSL instructions :
Now I've got my server installed, how do I create a test certificate?
Step one - create the key and request:
openssl req -new > new.cert.csr
Step two - remove the passphrase from the key (optional):
openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out new.cert.key
Step three - convert request into signed cert:
openssl x509 -in new.cert.csr -out new.cert.cert -req -signkey new.cert.key -days 365
The Apache-SSL directives that you need to use the resulting cert are:
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.key
Tip replace new.cert with the server serivce affected AND the year it was set up.
