Apache setup

The examples and documentation are absolutely riddled with holes - complete rubbish! Thanks to gchameleon.tk for this post clearing this part up...

vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/autoconfig.edgarbv.com.conf

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName autoconfig.edgarbv.com
   ServerAlias autoconfig.*

Create the certificate files

certbot -d autoconfig.edgarbv.com -d autodiscover.edgarbv.com --apache

service apache2 restart

Testing

On the server / command line:

automx-test some@email.com

In the webbrowser (you will see the URLs in the output of the server test

http://autoconfig.edgarbv.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddress=random@edgarbv.com

NB try a few different email addresses you should be resolving for.
