Dovecot 2.3.17 can not start - too many parameters

[Robert Nowotny]

Michael,
it seems the rumors are right. After shortening the file
/etc/ssl/ca-certificates.crt
to one entry, it works.

Of course this is not a solution, so a fix will be needed.
I use the "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"  which is included with
Ubuntu impish

yours sincerely

Robert

Hi,

I have heard rumors that this happens when you provide a CA bundle file
which is big. If you just provide a single CA file it works. Something has
changed there, maybe the developers have more details about this change.

King regards
Michael

but when I run doveconf -n, it is working under 2.3.17
I needed to revert to version 2.3.16 to send this email ;-)

running on Ubuntu impish
