mkesmtpdcert(8)

NAME

   mkesmtpdcert - Create a secure SMTP test certificate

SYNOPSIS

   /usr/sbin/mkesmtpdcert

DESCRIPTION

   Secure ESMTP requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default
   location for the certificate file is /usr/lib/courier/esmtpd.pem. The
   mkesmtpdcert generates a self-signed X.509 certificate, mainly for
   testing. For production use the X.509 certificate must be signed by a
   recognized certificate authority, in order for mail clients to accept
   the certificate.

   /usr/lib/courier/esmtpd.pem must be owned by the courier user and have
   no group or world permissions. The mkesmtpdcert command will enforce
   this. To prevent an unfortunate accident, mkesmtpdcert will not work if
   /usr/lib/courier/esmtpd.pem already exists.

   mkesmtpdcert requires OpenSSL to be installed.
