I'm considering dovecot migration from 2.2.36 run with openssl 1.0.2o to
dovecot 2.3.3 run with openssl 1.1.1.
Currently I have both variants running with identical configs and certs
(the only differences are due to config syntax changes in dovecot 2.3),
so for example on both I have:
ssl_ca = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_ca.pem
(this file contains single intermediate certificate of my CA)
ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_crt.pem
(this contains single cerificate for my *.example.com domain)
[dovecot 2.3+ does not provide intermediate CA cert to clients any more]
2.3.x announcements and upgrade wiki mention no such behaviour change,
so I assume it is a regression.
Now doing
cat wildcard_ca.pem >> wildcard_crt.pem
solves the problem and dovecot starts providing both certs to clients
but if that's the proper way of solving this issue then what's the point
of having ssl_ca config setting?

Including ssl_ca with cert is not actually a good idea, but perhaps this should
indeed be mentioned in the upgrading page. Not a regression in any case.
Aki,
when I brought up this very issue in
<https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2018-January/110638.html> ff., you
told me that "ssl_ca", despite the name, was for client certificates
only, and that I was supposed to append the CA certificate(s) to the
server certificate file.
I am glad to hear you consider this a bad idea now. ;)
Cheerio,
Hauke
