Hoi Daniel,

are you sure? What is the refresh time? Instantly or with some delay? Have you 
tested what happens if I install new key, but I delay installing correct 
certificate? Does postfix keep the old key+cert or stop using any cert because 
the new key is not correct for the current(old) certificate?

On my postfix 2.9.6 on debian wheezy 7 and postfix 2.11.3 on debian jessie 8 I 
have to reload postfix. Postfix can use the same key+cert even if I deleted 
these files.


Reagrds,

Robert.
