No. They are normal. Since this gets asked a bit too often, changing it to a debug message should help I hope: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/2714f51e2355

Anyway, you probably shouldn't be using verbose_ssl=yes unless you're actually debugging some SSL issues (I guess the setting should have really been named ssl_debug=yes).
