Why so aggressive? I just noticed that I missed the "<" and wondered whether if makes a difference because it seems to work without it. I know where to find the documentation but searching for this question is a bit hard since I can't search for "<". And the wiki doesn't explain the syntax anyway.
After reading the patch am I right in assuming that with "</" the variable in the dovecot code contains the certificate itself instead of the link to the file? And if that is correct: Was dovecot reading the file every time it needed it before the change?
