+== Reloading server certificates
+
+Certificates for TCP based protocols (IMAP, SMTP, POP3, LMTP and ManageSieve) can be updated at
+runtime, without service interuption and without closing existing connections.
+
+In order to do so:
+
+ - Generate / retrieve your cryptographic materials and replace the ones specified in James configuration.
+ - Then call the following endpoint:
+
+....
+curl -XPOST http://ip:port/servers?reload-certificate
+....
+
+Optional query parameters:
+
+ - `port`: positive integer (valid port number). Only reload certificates for the specific port.

Review Comment:
   I would have prefered a server name but there is no way to easily access such a thing.
   
   Also binding same port multiple time for different IPs is a non default advanced configuration that 99% of the users won't use, and the port number would server them well.
