Certificate

Security Certificate

Self-Signed

# cd /tmp
# SUBJ="/C=US/ST=Indiana/L=Gary/O=COMPANY/OU=IT/CN=mail.domain.tld/emailAddress=user@domain.tld"
# openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -sha256 -days 3650 -nodes -subj $SUBJ
# cat cert.pem key.pem > servercert.pem
# cp servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
# remove *.pem

Let's Encrypt

(assumes a functioning Apache web server for domain.tld)

# dnf -y install certbot python3-certbot-apache
# certbot --apache -d domain.tld -d mail.domain.tld

A 2048 bit key should have been created, if not, force it with RSA options

# certbot --rsa-key-size 2048 --key-type rsa --apache -d domain.tld -d mail.domain.tld

Check the size of the private key with this command

# openssl rsa -in /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.com/privkey.pem  -text | grep Key

Move key & certificate in place

# cp -p /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem.bak
# cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.com/privkey.pem /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.com/fullchain.pem > servercert.pem
# cp ./servercert.pem /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

Go Daddy

# cd /tmp
# SUBJ="/C=US/ST=Indiana/L=Gary/O=COMPANY/OU=IT/CN=mail.domain.tld/emailAddress=user@domain.tld"
# openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -out csr.pem -subj $SUBJ
# openssl req -in csr.pem -noout -text (Examine your signing request)

Submit signing request (csr.pem) to GoDaddy and download crt and crt bundle when done.

# cat key.pem 7531fdb8504afe19.crt gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt > servercert.pem
# chmod 644 servercert.pem
# chown root:qmail servercert.pem
# cp -p servercert.pem /var/qmail/control

Implementation

Restart Services

# qmailctl stop && sleep 2 && qmailctl start
# systemctl restart dovecot httpd

Dovecot

ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
