UPDATE: following off list suggestions from Darryl, I tried to connect
to dovecot remotely via openssl:
/usr/bin/openssl s_client -connect my.remote.server:993
and got what I pasted below, which I looks like "certificate is
screwed/ useless/incompatible??? but login succeeds anyway". That's
why I think dovecot has nothing to do with it. Any feedback still
greatly appreciated. How can I generate this certificate correctly?
What does that error mean? Which setting in openssl.cnf should be
modified?
TIA,
Marco
