I performed a quick test and it seems that the "ssl_protocols" setting is per-IP only and shared among all listeners defined for that address. As you want this setting to be active for one specific "inet_listener" only (with port 10995 in your case), dovecot would have to permit the "ssl_protocols" directive in that scope, which it doesn’t.
As a workaround I suggest using a special, unused loopback address to which you can apply the distinct SSL settings. You could use iptables/NAT to forward all incoming traffic originating from your external IP on port 10995 to 127.0.0.2:10995 for example. Then configure the POP3 service with an "inet_listener" for 127.0.0.2:10995 and use the "local" directive to set up the SSL protocols without touching global settings:
local 127.0.0.2 { ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 }

Sorry for the bump...
Anyone know if it is possible to have multiple protocols instances with different ssl_protocols settings?
Regards.

Hi all, I have a question regarding the "ssl_protocols" parameter.
I understand that editing the 10-ssl.conf file I can set the ssl_protocols variable as required. At the same time, I can edit a single protocol file (eg: 20-pop3.conf) to set the ssl_protocols for a specific protocol/listener.
I wander if (and how) I can create a different listener for another POP3 instance, for example listening on port 10995, and using another ssl_protocol setting.
In short, I would like to create a different, firewalled pop3s service enabling the SSLv3 stack, while disabling it at system-wide settings.
I am able to successfully create a new listener for port 10995, but I don't understand how to associate the ssl_protocols value to the new listener. Simply putting the ssl_protocols value into the listener section give me a configuration error.
Thank you all.
