Aihe: Re: [exim] SSL Certificate for secure POP/SMTP
We use Comodo on our main server, but I don't see any way to specify 'Exim'
as the certificate type (you can choose apache, etc...). I don't have a
problem paying, I just need to know specifically what I need to buy.

You need a "trusted signer", one of the companies that issues certificates
for a fee, such as verisign, thawte, etc. The other alternative, appropriate
for intranet environments but not public systems, is to self-sign and have
all clients install the certificate chain.
