MKPOP3DCERT(8) S. Varshavchik. MKPOP3DCERT(8) NAME mkpop3dcert - create a test SSL certificate for POP3 over SSL SYNOPSIS /usr/local/sbin/mkpop3dcert DESCRIPTION POP3 over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate. The default lo- cation for the certificate file is /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem. mkpop3dcert 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-imap/pop3d.pem must be owned by the courier user and have no group or world permissions. The mkpop3dcert command will en- force this. To prevent an unfortunate accident, mkpop3dcert will not work if /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem already exists. mkpop3dcert requires OpenSSL to be installed. FILES /usr/local/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem X.509 certificate. /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d.cnf Parameters used by OpenSSL to create the X.509 certificate.
