This is completely different for Ubuntu and CentOS, so I'm going to have 
to write 2 different versions, but I'll look into this. There are plenty 
of websites out that that explain this in detail, I'll copy one of them 
and double-check the paths are right.

Here's a good one to start with:
     http://shapeshed.com/journal/setting_up_mod_ssl_on_apache_centos_52/

I'll write something based on that for you.

It won't be as simple a job as with MailScanner, as the prefs file 
format is very different and is executable PHP. So the script would 
probably need to change a bit with new releases, which makes it a lot 
harder to do automatically. The great thing about the MailScanner one I 
wrote is that it needs no information whatsoever beyond what it finds in 
the old and new conf files.

Note that you will only get a preferences.php.rpmnew file if the 
preferences.php file has changed between releases, so hopefully that 
won't be too often.
