TLS IMAP with Courier on Debian

English (US) TLS IMAP with Courier on Debian

Permalink 10:20:59 am, by Francois Planque Email , Categories: Linux stuff

Welcome back to the daily emailing setup on Debian... :>>

The default private key for the courier IMAP server is for localhost, whiwh will issue warnings in the mail client. To generate a new (self signed) private key, you need to do this:

  • rm /etc/courier/imapd.pem (or back it up)
  • edir /etc/courier/imap.cnf and at least put the right value into CN=
  • mkimapdcert which will generate a new key, but in the wrong place!
  • mv /usr/lib/courier/imapd.pem /etc/courier/
  • chown root imapd.pem

I wonder when this is gonna end...
