    mkpop3dcert
    create a test SSL certificate for POP3 over SSL
  
  
    
      @sbindir@/mkpop3dcert
    
  
  
    DESCRIPTION
    
POP3 over SSL requires a valid, signed, X.509 certificate.  The default
location for the certificate file is
@datadir@/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.
    
@datadir@/pop3d.pem must be owned by the
@mailuser@ user and
have no group or world permissions.
The mkpop3dcert command will
enforce this.  To prevent an unfortunate accident,
mkpop3dcert
will not work if @datadir@/pop3d.pem already exists.
    
mkpop3dcert requires
OpenSSL to be installed.
