It's very easy in this case.
dnl #
dnl # Rudimentary information on creating certificates for sendmail TLS:
dnl # make -C /usr/share/ssl/certs usage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (try it to know more about
building certs in general)
dnl #
So we comment out (remove dnl) the following lines
define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/usr/share/ssl/certs')
define(`confCACERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt')
define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem')
define(`confSERVER_KEY',`/usr/share/ssl/certs/sendmail.pem')
ssl/certs and ca-bundle.crt are are already there, so we only need to
# make -C /usr/share/ssl/certs sendmail.pem
and answere some questions.
Start Evolution, Email-Settings -> SMTP -> localhost -> use SSL: Always
-> Test, and see the new cert popping up. :-)
If you want to force tls use
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p')dnl
(already there, remove dnl)
You are done, your passwords will now be handelt encrypted.
All in all very easy.
BTW: So I don't understand the postfix vs. sendmail discussions. If
sendmail is default, i'll use sendmail (yes, I also have exim on another
box), i don't care for only 4 or 5 mailboxes. Works fine here.
