Dear Maintainer,

During long server uptime TLS certificate can expire and clients cannot connect
anymore. For example Let's Encrypt offers only three months valid time for
certificates.

Manual fix if is to restart the server manually or by Cron, but maybe this
should be handled as default by the package configuration.

In Debian I have noticed this bug affecting Exim, Dovecot and Ejabberd so far.
