I'm not sure if one can create a multi-domain (different domains, not different hosts in a domain) certificate using certbot.

Qmail at present only uses on certificate.

Hi!

In my mail server with Rocky Linux 8 run multiple domains and I generated certificates with Letsencrypt following the guide, but I have a doubt and a question.

THE DOUBT:

For example I have domain1.com and domain2.com

I do this to generate the certificate for the first domain:
certbot --apache -d domain1.com -d mail.domain1.com
cp -p /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem.bak cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain1.com/fullchain.pem > /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

Then I do this to generate the certificate for the second domain:
certbot --apache -d domain2.com -d mail.domain2.com

But if I do this:
cp -p /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem.bak cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain2.com/fullchain.pem > /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

I will replace the certificate for domain1 in qmail.

The only solution is to create a "combined" certificate like this:
certbot -d domain1.com mail.domain1.com domain2.com mail.domain2.com

Is this procedure correct or there is a better way to have a distinct certificate for each domain?

THE QUESTION:

If for any reasons domain2.com point to IP A because the web server runs on another machine and mail.domain2.com point to IP B of the mail server, I can't do this:
certbot -d domain1.com mail.domain1.com domain2.com mail.domain2.com

because "domain2.com" doesn't point to the server with certbot installed, so to renew/extend the certificate I have to do this:
certbot -d domain1.com mail.domain1.com mail.domain2.com

But when someb...@domain2.com logs on webmail or via email client, the certificate for mail.domain2.com it's enough?

THANKS A LOT to people that will take time to read this email :-)
