I've generated the pem files for imapd, pop3d and esmtpd but still have a little question about the 'CN' position. Does it need 'localhost', the servername or the FQDN of the machine?

The common name (CN) should be the host's FQDN.

Search google-groups:<subjectaltname OR subjectalternativename openssl> for a
way of supporting multiple host names (and IP addresses) in a single
