It is a matter of distributing the certificate among 3 or more different servers that the fqdn points to.

In the age of Lets Encrypt and free certificates, is there a reason www.qmailtoaster.com, wiki.qmailtoaster.org <http://wiki.qmailtoaster.org> and qtp.qmailtoaster.org <http://qtp.qmailtoaster.org> are either insecure or don’t have correct certs on them?

The wiki says to fetch qmqtool with the command 'wget -P /usr/local/bin https://qtp.qmailtoaster.org/bin/qmqtool' <https://qtp.qmailtoaster.org/bin/qmqtool'> but the cert isn’t correct for it.  In an age of supply chain attacks, I’m not going to override certain protections when downloading a tool that could affect my mail server.
