Speaking of that Sandy...

The install of Postfix, if you select the right options in the Sysconfig editor portion of yast, creates certificates etc for you for TLS, etc.

This is done by mkpostfixcert - driven out of SuseConfig

Nice, I haven't used that yet. Since when is this option available?

I just checked in Suse 9.2, and I can't see that point. The only options I CAN see are some values for the creation of the certificate, but not the point where the certificate itself is actually created.

Imaps (secure imap) needs certificates too. Can the they use
the same certificates (the ones in /etc/postfix/ssl ) ??

Provided you give the imap server access zu that certificate, you can of course share it among servers. Otherwise just copy it to the place where the imap server wants to access it.
