location of CA files for postfix

Hello everyone,

I am trying to setup postfix to relay to my smtp provider according to this page:
http://webmail.tm.net.my/info/smtp-proxy.html#Postfix

I tripped over the following statement:

smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/cert.pem

I am assuming I need to find the CA-file for my beloved smtp provider as postfix doesn't seem to have a repository like Firefox for example does.

This throws up a couple of questions I'm hoping for an answer for:

- is there a "standard" directory with CA-files for archlinux where other applications could tap into?
- how do I figure out and get the required CA-file for my smtp provider? (it is mail.messagingengine.com, fastmail.fm's server)

Thanks!
