Hi,

I got news: dovecot is the one that is broken, i got setup all other stuff updated to latest BUT not dovecot, and i got working system.


if I upgrade dovecot, the installation breaks. I'm using letencrypt's certs.


The version that is good is 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b)

Hi,

In our case this is an internally used Dovecot Mail server that's used for
certificates worth the expense? Just curious on what everyone's opinion is
of Digital Certs signed by certificate authorities that are only used inside
the LAN. Thoughts?
Aki is right. On the long run it's easier to use "offcial" certs. Since
the advent of Let's encrypt it is cheap.

Of course, getting a certificate from Let's Encrypt for an internal
service isn't as easy as for a public HTTP server, but it is possible.

(We use a dedicated machine, requesting certs for all our internal
services, employing the DNS challenge with Let's Encrypt. From this
dedicated machine then we deploy the certs into our internal
infrastructure using https://gitea.schlittermann.de/heiko/cert-proxy.git)

I also tried creating new .crt and key files using this tutorial:
https://msol.io/blog/tech/create-a-self-signed-ssl-certificate-with-openssl/
No need to use tech blogs. Use "man req" and brain.

         openssl req -x509 -new \
                 -out ssl.pem \
                 -keyout ssl.pem -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
                 -subj /CN=example.com -days 365

         (or two distinct files for crt and key).
