# This file generates the static temporary RSA keys needed for qmail to encrypt messages
# It should be run from a crontab, once a day is ok on low load machines, but
# if you do lots of mail, once per hour is more reasonable
# if you do NOT create the rsa512.pem, qmail will generate it on the fly for
# each connection, which can be VERY slow.
