...overwrites the previous certificate using the same path and filename. Am I right to assume that Dovecot needs a reload/restart after the certificate has been renewed in order to 'pick up' on the new certificate and if so, would I require a reload or a restart? Thank you in advance -- MajorLabel

Excuse dopey question. I'm not exactly clear about certificates.

Can they be moved to another machine ? mick -- Key ID C7D6E24C

..., so moving it to another machine would only work if that machine would completely replace the old machine (domain name) and the DNS is changed to point to your new IP address (or the old machine gets taken out of 'the air' and the new machine gets the old one's IP address). Best. MajorLabel
