I don't have very many clients and already have separate SSL's for the
web server and email server. The problem is the Apache web server I have
doesn't support the newer browser upgrades for Chrome and FireFox which
prevent customers from accessing our online store because of TLS.
Surgemail supports that and that's how I narrowed down what the issue
was that happened overnight with customers complaining they couldn't get
onto our websites. I tried to update my Apache but it it kept loading my
old Apache plus I had other legacy middleware that didn't play well with
anything I tried. So I decide to move my webserver of site where it
would play well with everything but I can't do that until I get
Surgemail properly configured for that transition.
I'm going to wait until this weekend to do what was mentioned in this
thread so I don't mess up the business day tomorrow and have us dead in
the water.
