Importing external TLS certificates

You must import an external TLS certificate on any host that sends encrypted email.

Procedure

  1. Copy the TLS certificate to the /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ directory on the host that sends encrypted email.
    For example, to import a certificate titled TLS_email.crt, type the following command:
    openssl s_client -connect <emailServer>:<port> < /dev/null | openssl x509 /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/TLS_email.crt
  2. To update the certificates in the certificate authority (CA), type the following commands:
    update-ca-trust enable
    update-ca-trust extract
