I think this is since 6.3. Qhen installin dovecot package, a few files are created. The problem is that /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf contains :
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem However, doesn't exist. I thought user configuration should be done in /etc/dovecot/local.conf to avoid problems for future upgrades. I think the above lines should be commented by default, but maybe there is a good reason I miss? I understand the following message, but even if it might look handy, it should be default : --- +dovecot-2.2.36 ------------------- Files to facilitate the generation of a self-signed certificate and key for Dovecot have been installed: /etc/ssl/dovecot-openssl.cnf (Edit this accordingly!) /usr/local/sbin/dovecot-mkcert.sh If this has been or will be accomplished by other means, use the following paths for the files: /etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem Regards. -- thuban
