sendmail/SSL

About

The sendmail configuration parameters related to SSL seem to be:

• confCACERT_PATH
• confCACERT
• confSERVER_CERT
• confSERVER_KEY

All four must be defined in order for sendmail to offer STARTTLS connections. If you are using a self-signed certificate, you will need to generate a .pem file.

Example

define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/etc/apache2/certs')
define(`confCACERT',`/etc/apache2/certs/RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem')
define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/etc/apache2/certs/vbz.net.crt')
define(`confSERVER_KEY',`/etc/apache2/certs/rizzo.key')
