I run ls -lu on the key file. It's access time is not updated. It
seems dovecot does not even read it. What is the correct syntax?
Should it be in the ssl_server section? Should it be
ssl_server_cert_file or cert file parameter? Or even another?

Why there is no certificate present? Because dovecot refuse to
present it since it thinks it is weak?

Hello,
I added ca_file to the server section. I do not want clients
to present certificates, so I did not create the ssl client
section you proposed.
Any other suggestion?
I still cannot imagine what could be the cause.
Thanks

after upgrading from Fedora 42 to Fedora 43 the dovecot
got upgraded to version 2.4.
imo, a sloppy choice on their part, forcing the need to
significantly change imap config at the same time as an OS
upgrade, and 'breaking imap' for lots of folks.
Should the authority certificate be configured somewhere
in dovecot?
start with a thorough read of
[8]https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.2/core/config/ssl.html
if using self-signed certs, you'll end up with something
similar to
ssl = required
...
ssl_server {
ca_file = /path/to/your_CA.crt.pem
cert_file = /path/to/your_domain.server.ec.crt.pem
key_file = /path/to/your_domain.server.ec.key.pem
...
}
ssl_client {
ca_file = /path/to/your_CA.crt.pem
cert_file = /path/to/your_domain.client.ec.crt.pem
key_file = /path/to/your_domain.client.ec.key.pem
...
}
