NAME
     mkesmtpdcert - Create a secure SMTP test certificate

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/sbin/mkesmtpdcert

DESCRIPTION
     Secure ESMTP requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default loca-
     tion  for	the certificate file is /usr/local/share/courier/esmtpd.pem. The
     mkesmtpdcert generates a self-signed X.509 certificate, mainly for testing.
     For production use the X.509 certificate must be  signed  by  a  recognized
     certificate authority, in order for mail clients to accept the certificate.

     /usr/local/share/courier/esmtpd.pem  must	be owned by the courier user and
     have no group or world permissions. The mkesmtpdcert command  will  enforce
     this.  To	prevent  an  unfortunate accident, mkesmtpdcert will not work if
     /usr/local/share/courier/esmtpd.pem already exists.

     mkesmtpdcert requires OpenSSL to be installed.
