[Dovecot] SSL Certificate Chain Support

Greetings.

I was wondering if there were any plans to add support for an SSL
certificate chain file?

This is useful to provide a valid certificate chain for lower cost
signing authorities.

I'm afraid that I'm not 100% positive of the implementation
requirements. Although it does seem that OpenSSL supports this concept.
I am aware that Apache HTTPD (via mod_ssl) and Courier-IMAP offer
support for this feature.

Here's a link to information from the Apache HTTPD manual:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcertificatechainfile

Thank you for the continued development of a great project.

Matt
