Another error I'm getting with pop3 which I thought was related to the cert,
I've not received any emails yet, but when a connection comes in they all give
this error with private key.
7/7 06:43:27 mail 0048 POP3S [162.142.125.118] Connection accepted on
192.168.4.109 port 995 from port 53678
7/7 06:43:27 mail 0048 POP3S [162.142.125.118] Hostname: scanner
19.ch1.censys-scanner.com
7/7 06:43:27 mail 0048 POP3S [162.142.125.118] ERROR 'Bad argument, parameter
3' (-3) setting private key

You'd mentioned the ssl.cert should've been created automatically, but I
didn't have it after I built SBBS.

Thanks again for your insight -
Sam
