Hi there,

We followed this instruction (https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1828) to enable Let's Encrypt on our server about a month ago. Everything is running to our satisfaction, so we decided to also request a SSL via Let's Encrypt for the hostname of our server.

This is where we bump into a little problem: the SSL is copied to Exim/Dovecot automatically. However, they're both not able to pick up renewed certificates without a restart of the service. So when the certificate is being renewed, we need to restart exim/dovecot manually. Since we're having about a dozen servers, this is not a pleasant thing to do.

Is there a way to automatically restart Exim/Dovecot on renewal of the SSL certificate? If not, is it possible to make a feature request for this?

Regards,
Marijn
