I just setup a new exim server with an instantSSL.com cert this morning
(instead of a self-signed one...) It's Very simple really.
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/FAQ_17.html
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_37.html#CHAP37
Specifically, section 37.3: "The certificate file may also contain
intermediate certificates that need to be sent to the client to enable
it to authenticate the server's certificate." I concatenated the two CA
certificates sent to me by instantssl with my new cert into a new file
and used that for the tls_certificate line. Exim sends the whole thing
to a client so it has the complete chain.
I'm able to use the same cert on apache, exim, and courier imap. I just
manipulate it in various ways for the different applications. LDAP is
next.
