SSL Certs for both web and email servers
Hi! Can I use the same SSL (from letsencrypt) cert for both web and email traffic? I have three domains and a small but invariant number of subdomains that I want to encrypt - should I try to pull them all under one SSL cert, or do one for each domain, or one for every subdomain? I don't need a wildcard, but I would like something relatively painless if possible. I use Apache2 for web (running virtual servers) and Dovecot for inbound email. There are a lot of old tutorials, but I haven't found one that answers my questions quite yet. Thanks!

yes, in your case, and for painless and easy, just use the domain name and one cert. so, instead of mail.example.com and www.example.com - just use example.com.
