Dear All This is my continuation of postfix setup. Following link http://campworld.net/thewiki/pmwiki.php/LinuxServersCentOS/Cent6VirtMailServ... postfix setup.
At one stage it says, Configuring The Server Setup SSL Certificate
Now generate an SSL certificate for postfix and dovecot to have TLS support. Replace mail.example.com with your server hostname.
genkey --days 3650 mail.example.com
My doubt is ,
- I have to install a SSL certificate for for web server (apache case). I
am planning to purchase a SSL certificate and put it. The same certificate will be useful for both web server and mail server OR both web and mail server needs to separate separate SSL certificates.
- I hope for web server case, one must purchase a ssl certificate and use
it (so that browsers will work smoothly without complain). For mail server can one use locally generated ssl certificate?
Kindly let me know.

Hi,
I use mail.domain.com, so I needed another certificate. I got the second certificate the same way I got the first, save for the change in the domain name.
A self-signed certificate will trigger a warning for users. For this reason, I did not use self-signed and I suspect you don't want to use a self-signed, either.
