Setting up SSL for a Server

I need to install SSL certificate information on a Oracle Linux Server (RedHat Flavor) for Apache, Sendmail, WebMin, and Dovecot, possibly Cyruss. All referencing the same domain name mail.mydomain.com.

My question, can I purchase 1 SSL certifcate for Apache and install that for each of the server software packages?

If so, can some one point me to a how to page for Sendmail & Dovecot?

Thank you

You don't buy a certificate for Apache (or any service), you buy a certificate for your domain.
So answer to first question is Yes you can use the same certificate.
For detailed info, here are two sites that came up on top when googling "dovecot ssl" & "sendmail ssl":

Smile Thank you!
I suspected as much, but was not sure. Better to ask than make mistake setting up a mail server.
