you first need to generate csr-file (and key).
Code: Select all
openssl req -new -nodes -keyout mail.server.com.key -out mail.server.com.csr
Make sure you use the same host-name as used in your postfix config file (of dovecot or other mail server)
in this example
mail.server.com, not just the domain.
Then send the
mail.server.com.csr-file to you registar the be signed.
Now certificates are only signed for a year, so you need to do it every year.
After a few hours, they will send you the signed certificate ( .cert of .crt-file).
