Announce: Plugin for iOS Push Email support

[admin]

This is interesting; I'm not sure if I got that right from scanning
the READMEs. Do I really need to have a working OSX-server setup
which I then do migrate away from? What makes this certificate that
special such that I only can export it from the existing server
setup?
