Hello mages!

I'm performing some mail server upgrades, and it's a good time to
refresh our SSL certificates that got expired back in 2017 since the
previous migration in 2016 [0]. I also couldn't get access to the
original private key so can't issue new certificates and revoke old
ones. This is the first step to enhance and secure our mail setup
before we can work on a fully-featured IMAP support and @sourcemage.org
sending addresses.

The procedure is the same:

1. You generate a CSR with CN set to your ssh/git username:

$ openssl genrsa -out <your_id>.key 2048
$ openssl req -new -key <your_id>.key -out <your_id>.csr

2. You send a PGP-signed e-mail with a generated CSR to
projectlead AT sourcemage.org

3. I'll reply back with a cert that can be used in POP3 clients like
mpop, e.g.:

--[ snip ]--
$ cat .mpoprc
defaults
tls on
delivery maildir ~/Maildir
account sourcemage
host post.sourcemage.org
tls_fingerprint
61:12:F9:FA:A8:7A:D2:BB:E1:F3:1E:2A:E7:5D:AA:6D:68:6E:1B:56:E2:EE:8B:5B:C2:39:E6:A2:78:0B:4C:0C
auth plain user vlad
# password must be set but isn't used
password "-"
tls_key_file ~/.mpop/vlad.key
tls_cert_file ~/.mpop/vlad.crt
account default : sourcemage
--[ snip ]--

Delivery method might be different for you.

Also note tls_fingerprint and host values: these are real
values that will be used in production.

The new certificate will be enabled on the mail server on
*Sun Aug 1 21:00 UTC 2021*, so please make sure to have your cert
ready before then.

Thanks!
