You can create a self-signed certificate using the &'req'& command provided
with OpenSSL, like this:
+. ==== Do not shorten the duration here without reading and considering
+. ==== the text below. Please leave it at 9999 days.
.code
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout file1 -out file2 \
-days 9999 -nodes
prompting for the passphrase. This is not helpful if you are going to use
this certificate and key in an MTA, where prompting is not possible.
+. ==== I expect to still be working 26 years from now. The less technical
+. ==== debt I create, in terms of storing up trouble for my later years, the
+. ==== happier I will be then. We really have reached the point where we
+. ==== should start, at the very least, provoking thought and making folks
+. ==== pause before proceeding, instead of leaving all the fixes until two
+. ==== years before 2^31 seconds after the 1970 Unix epoch.
+. ==== -pdp, 2012
+NB: we are now past the point where 9999 days takes us past the 32-bit Unix
+epoch. If your system uses unsigned time_t (most do) and is 32-bit, then
+the above command might produce a date in the past. Think carefully about
+the lifetime of the systems you're deploying, and either reduce the duration
+of the certificate or reconsider your platform deployment. (At time of
+writing, reducing the duration is the most likely choice, but the inexorable
+progression of time takes us steadily towards an era where this will not
+be a sensible resolution).
+
A self-signed certificate made in this way is sufficient for testing, and
may be adequate for all your requirements if you are mainly interested in
encrypting transfers, and not in secure identification.

consider this use of the &%message%& modifier:

.oindex "&%-bh%&"

ceases, but processing of the ACL continues.
+If the argument is a named ACL, up to nine space-separated optional values
+can be appended; they appear in $acl_arg1 to $acl_arg9, and $acl_narg is set
+to the count of values. The name and values are expanded separately.

If the nested &%acl%& returns &"drop"& and the outer condition denies access,
the connection is dropped. If it returns &"discard"&, the verb must be
&%accept%& or &%discard%&, and the action is taken immediately &-- no further
