Can they be consolidated/simplified/polished/improved in some way?

I think these how-tos already cover it up

and no need to add other howto as this will make duplicate info

Athiq,

This is how I do it...in a bash script:

# 1. Create the key.
# 2. Copy the key (mailkey.crt) to /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
# 3. Restart Qmail.
# 4. Import the key (mailkey.cert) to trusted root server in # Internet Explorer or Firefox
#    on your computer.
# 5. Make sure the name of the server (CN) when creating # the certificate, whether FQDN # or IP address, is used in the server information incoming # and outgoing fields of the mail client. # 6. Restart the mail client.

openssl genrsa -out x.key 2048
openssl req -new -key x.key -out x.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in x.csr -signkey x.key -out x.crt
cat x.crt x.key > mailkey.crt
cp mailkey.crt /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

rm x.crt
rm x.key
rm x.csr

Subject: [qmailtoaster] servercert.pem common name

Hi,

The common name of my servercert.pem is set to 'localhost'. How to I change this, or create a new certificate with the common name of my mail server.

Every time i try to send an email my thunderbird throws up a warning syaing my smtp name and certificate name are not the same.


thanks,

--Athiq
