SSL certificates for mail-server

[Orange_XL]

I've setup my mailserver to support IMAP-ovr-SSL. I use a self-signed certificate, but want to use a real signed-certificate. But where do I get those? All certificate issuers seem to aim only at securing webservers (I have one of those for webmail)...

I used a ssl web server cert for my pop3-ssl server and it works fine. I'm not exactly sure how the selection of ssl servers effects the generated certificate... The one I used was generated for apache-ssl, and the server I used was just stunnel wrapped around a standard pop3 server.

Some SSL providers offer a 5 day money back if anythng is wrong.

Thanx! But what about the keyformat? (Which emailserver are you using btw.?)

I didn't see the "I have one of those for webmail"..

That seems perfect. Use that. Use the cert you have for your webmail for your pop3s server.

To answer your other question, the pop server I used in that case was the one that came with qmail. But right now I'm experimenting with dbmail(.org) which comes with a pop and imap server ( it's mysql driven ).

Thanks a million! I cannot use my webmail-certificate, since the domain-name is different. But I think I'll be able to get it working...
