You can create a self-signed certificate using the &'req'& command provided

.code
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout file1 -out file2 \

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.

+. ==== pause before proceeding, instead of leaving all the fixes until two

+. ==== -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.

+from an incoming message, as in this example:
+.code
+warn message = Remove internal headers
+ remove_header = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2
+.endd
+The &%remove_header%& modifier is permitted in the MAIL, RCPT, PREDATA, DATA,
+MIME, and non-SMTP ACLs (in other words, those that are concerned with
+receiving a message). The message must ultimately be accepted for
+&%remove_header%& to have any significant effect. You can use &%remove_header%&
+with any ACL verb, including &%deny%&, though this is really not useful for
+any verb that doesn't result in a delivered message.
+
+More than one header can be removed at the same time by using a colon separated
+list of header names. The header matching is case insensitive. Wildcards are
+not permitted, nor is list expansion performed, so you cannot use hostlists to
+create a list of headers, however both connection and message variable expansion
+are performed (&%$acl_c_*%& and &%$acl_m_*%&), illustrated in this example:
+.code
+warn hosts = +internal_hosts
+ set acl_c_ihdrs = x-route-mail1 : x-route-mail2
+warn message = Remove internal headers
+ remove_header = $acl_c_ihdrs
+.endd
+Removed header lines are accumulated during the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs.
+They are removed from the message before processing the DATA and MIME ACLs.
+There is no harm in attempting to remove the same header twice nor is removing
+a non-existent header. Further header lines to be removed may be accumulated
+during the DATA and MIME ACLs, after which they are removed from the message,
+if present. In the case of non-SMTP messages, headers to be removed are
+accumulated during the non-SMTP ACLs, and are removed from the message after
+all the ACLs have run. If a message is rejected after DATA or by the non-SMTP
+ACL, there really is no effect because there is no logging of what headers
+would have been removed.
+
+.cindex "header lines" "removed; visibility of"
+Header lines are not visible in string expansions until the DATA phase when it
+is received. Any header lines removed in the MAIL, RCPT, and predata ACLs are
+not visible in the DATA ACL and MIME ACLs. Similarly, header lines that are
+removed by the DATA or MIME ACLs are still visible in those ACLs. Because of
+this restriction, you cannot use header lines as a way of controlling data
+passed between (for example) the MAIL and RCPT ACLs. If you want to do this,
+you should instead use ACL variables, as described in section
+&<<SECTaclvariables>>&.
+
+The &%remove_header%& modifier acts immediately as it is encountered during the
+processing of an ACL. Notice the difference between these two cases:
+.display
+&`accept remove_header = X-Internal`&
+&` `&<&'some condition'&>
+
+&`accept `&<&'some condition'&>
+&` remove_header = X-Internal`&
+.endd
+In the first case, the header line is always removed, whether or not the
+condition is true. In the second case, the header line is removed only if the
+condition is true. Multiple occurrences of &%remove_header%& may occur in the
+same ACL statement. All those that are encountered before a condition fails
+are honoured.
