Hi. I've spent the past few hours trying to get SSL working right in Dovecot 1.0.5 and now I must turn to you for help.
I purchased an SSL certificate from Go Daddy. I pointed ssl_cert_file to the .crt file and ssl_key_file to the .key file, but the client (Mail.app) complains:
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "imap.nccom.com". The error was:
There is no root certificate for this server.
So I tried downloading Go Daddy's root certificate and pointing ssl_ca_file to that file, but that didn't help.
So I tried pointing ssl_ca_file to the intermediate certificate sent to me by Go Daddy, but that breaks things to the point where I never even get the above message; just nothing happens at all.
I'm not sure what to try next and am happy to entertain any suggestions.
Thanks...
