OK I read about a dozen how to files (none of them walk you through this as a novice on a Linux system). After much reading and guessing here is what I have.
I created a directory for my key to live in. I created a .crt .key and a .csr file. I then went to sendmail and put the absolute path to the .key and .crt files the path and files for the server and client are the same. I made a new .conf file using make from the .mc file and then restarted the server.
well my eudora client says that the server does not support ssl.
Have I missed something...?
Going to google for more help documents.
