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 daemon 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.
