Hi,

I need to implement TLS on postfix 2.1.5-4.2

I understand what I need to do in main.cf but I'm having trouble understanding the keys I need to generate.

I've run the following from the command line:

"openssl req -new -nodes -keyout postfix_private_key.pem -out postfix_private_key.pem -days 365"

This created postfix_private_key.pem which contains a Private Key and a Certificate Request.

I believe I give this file to verisign and they generate a public key ... and this is where I get confused.

Could someone please explain to me the details of what I do with the key I get from verisign ?

Im reading "The Book of Postfix" but I'm having trouble with the TLS stuff.

Any help will be greatfully received,

Many thanks,
Nick .
