I forgot to mention the certificate is signed by my private root
   certification authority. Could this be related? Should the authority
   certificate be configured somewhere in dovecot?
   Thanks

     Hello,
     after upgrading from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43 the dovecot got upgraded to
     version 2.4.
     I tweaked the configuration, dovecot starts, but when client is trying
     to connect to imap, I get:
     imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL connection: Couldn't
     initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate
     (ssl_server_cert_file setting): error:0A00018F:SSL routines
     ::ee key too small:
     I tried replacing 2048 bits RSA with 4096 bits RSA, I tried to not use
     the dh.pem file (I read somewhere it is not neede any more), I deleted
     /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat file, but still the same error.
     Where should I look next?
     My ssl config:
     ssl = required

     #ssl_server_dh_file = /etc/dovecot/dh.pem

     ssl_server {
      #ssl_server_dh_file = /etc/dovecot/dh.pem
      ssl_server_cert_file = /somewhere/dovecot.pem
      ssl_server_key_file = /somewhere/dovecot.pem
      prefer_ciphers = server
     }

     ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1.2

     ssl_cipher_list = PROFILE=SYSTEM

     #ssl_verify_client_cert = no
     #ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = no
     Thanks
     Marek
