If you don't intend to use TLS for authentication (and if you are using
self-signed certificates you probably don't) you can simply link your new
    certificate to CAcert.pem.

          # ln -s /etc/mail/certs/mycert.pem /etc/mail/certs/CAcert.pem

    If, on the other hand, you intend to use TLS for authentication you
    should install your certificate authority bundle as
    /etc/mail/certs/CAcert.pem.

You didn't mention this file.

So, just in case something else in the system might look for this, I did the following:

ln -s dc0.crt CAcert.pem

I didn't think it would make any differencem but just for testing I did anyway and I now have;

# ls -al
total 16
drwx------  2 root  wheel   512 Jun  2 22:05 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  1024 Jun  2 20:56 ..
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     7 Jun  2 22:05 CAcert.pem -> dc0.crt
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1241 Jun  2 20:47 dc0.crt
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   668 Jun  2 20:47 dc0.key
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     7 Jun  2 20:53 lo0.crt -> dc0.crt
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     7 Jun  2 20:53 lo0.key -> dc0.key

And still no go.

Obviously here the dc0.crt is what the mycert.pem would have been anyway.

smtpd.conf is looking for name.crt where the .crt is burned in the code, so it's not optional to have it.


# cat /usr/src/usr.sbin/smtpd/ssl.c | grep .crt
                "/etc/mail/certs/%s.crt", name)) {

So, that's for the clue, but that's not is yet anyway.

Best,

Daniel
