   Hi all,    
      
   I am trying to install a lets encrypt certificate generated via certbot   
   that comes with debian/ubuntu.   
      
   It gives me the following files   
   cert.pem   
   chain.pem   
   fullchain.pem (a combination of the previous two it looks like)   
   privkey.pam   
      
   I disabled the generate self-signed key in scfg.  But I left both   
   cryptlib.key and ssl.cert in place.   
      
   Things that i have tried.   
   1.     
   jsexec certtool --import ./fullchain.pem   
   result: "!JavaScript  /home/synchronet/sbbs/exec/certtool.js line 70:   
   Error: CryptLib error -43"   
      
   The fullchain.pem looks the same as the example here   
   https://wiki.synchro.net/module:certtool   
      
   I copied the example there as a sanity check and that also fails with   
   the same error.   
      
   2.    
   I tried adding the folloing to the bottom of the [Mail] section in   
   sbbs.ini:   
   	Secure = true   
   	CertificateFile = ./ssl_certs/fullchain.pem   
   	KeyFile = ./cryptlib.key   
      
   result: cannot connenct to port 995   
      
      
   Has anyone been succesful in using a LetsEncrypt cert in this manner   
   that they got directly from certbot?    
      
   Thanks in Advance.
