[Dovecot] Problem with dovecot/deliver and SSL in 2.0.4

29 Sep 2010


      I'm facing a problem with dovecot/deliver and SSL in 2.0.4 which did not
occur in earlier releases:
I get this error message:
postfix/local[18259]: 687CE86514: to=<rainer@homenet.local>,
relay=local, delay=0.08, delays=0.02/0/0/0.06, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced
(Command died with status 89: "/usr/libexe
c/dovecot/deliver". Command output: doveconf: Fatal: Error in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: ssl enabled, but ssl_key
not set )
My System is:
Linux mylfs 2.6.27.53 #1 Mon Aug 30 14:28:06 CEST 2010 i686 pentium3
i386 GNU/Linux
and dovecot -n reads like this:
# 2.0.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.27.53 i686
auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
disable_plaintext_auth = no
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb {

driver = pam
}
passdb {
args = /etc/mail/dovecot/dovecot-cram-md5.pwd
driver = passwd-file
}
service auth {
user = root
}
service imap-login {

inet_listener imaps {

}
service pop3-login {
inet_listener pop3 {

}
inet_listener pop3s {

}
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {

}
protocol pop3 {

pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster@homenet.local
sendmail_path = /usr/bin/mutt
}
I reverted to 2.0.3 and the error does not occur anymore.
