OpenSSL will ask you to set a password, which you'll need to

+
+### Client certificates (instead of passwords)
+
+If you really want to, you can use the client certificates
+as a substitute for passwords. This is especially useful
+if you set up a catchall inbox in Dovecot,
+because this will allow you to send emails
+from arbitrary addresses from your domain.
+
+To do this, follow the same procedure as in the previous section,
+but with a slightly different OpenSMTPD configuration:
+```sh
+listen on eth0 port 587 tls-require verify pki "example.com" ca "mailca" filter "rspamd" tag "VALID"
+action "SEND" relay srs
+match from any tag "VALID" for any action "SEND"
+```
+All incoming connections that present a good certificate
+will be tagged as `VALID`, and their mail will be relayed.
+
+Unfortunately, we're not quite done yet here,
+because we've just made Rspamd very confused...
+
+
+#### Rspamd
+
+When OpenSMTPD passes a message through Rspamd, it also includes
+some metadata, most notably whether the sender has authenticated
+successfully with OpenSMTPD... which is now no longer the case
+for submissions, because we've removed the `auth` directive!
+
+Rspamd therefore starts regarding these outgoing emails
+as *incoming* emails, because they don't seem
+to come from a trusted user. So instead of signing them with DKIM
+and handing them back to OpenSMTPD, it will do a full spam scan.
+If they get a high spam score (which is likely for short test emails),
+*your* spam filter, running on *your* server,
+will be flagging *your* messages as spam!
+
+The solution is to whitelist your domain(s) in Rspamd,
+so it won't scan them. To do this, create a new file
+`/etc/rspamd/local.d/settings.conf` with these contents,
+where `foo.com` and `bar.com` are the domains to whitelist:
+```c
+outbound {
+ priority = high;
+ from = "@foo.com";
+ from = "@bar.com";
+ apply {
+ actions {
+ add_header = 1000;
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+Setting `priority` to `high` ensures that Rspamd checks
+this rule before doing anything else.
+You can add any number of `from` directives;
+this rule will be applied if any of them match.
+The only action it takes is to set the threshold
+for the action `add_header` to `1000`.
+That is, if the email doesn't get a spam score of at least 1000
+(the default is 6) Rspamd will not add any spam tags.
+
+Because Rspamd is still regarding your emails as inbound,
+you also need to change the global settings of
+the DKIM signer in `/etc/rspamd/local.d/dkim_signing.conf`,
+such that they include the following:
+```c
+sign_inbound = true;
+allow_hdrfrom_mismatch = true;
+allow_username_mismatch = true;
+```
+This tells Rspamd to add DKIM signatures to incoming emails,
+which in this case includes yours.
+Allowing these mismatches ensures that the messages still get signed,
+even if you're sending from an arbitrary address.
