First pass through Tokyo. No sign of Godzilla. [...]

by Paul Fischer

I think I have finally beaten IMAPS (IMAP with SSL/TLS don’t ask me which) and SMTPS (SMTP with TLS) certificate configurations on my server.
In my case, I am using an OS X 10.3 which has built-in IMAP and SMTP (postfix). They both come pre-configured to use a server.pem file in /var/imap and /etc/postfix respectively.
