Hi Gabriel, I could be a little bit out of context, but I had some problems with SSL in Dovecot when I forgot the < in the start of line (that tells Dovecot it had to read file itself).
Here is an extraction from the dovecot-service-type configuration I use: > (ssl-cert "</etc/letsencrypt/live/test.com/fullchain.pem") > (ssl-key "</etc/letsencrypt/live/test.com/privkey.pem") Sorry if is not useful.
