Im new to postfix-dovecot

Technically yes! Less than 2 years experience running a live server . . .
and im mystified by the following resultsin ubuntu 10.04lts
:~$ dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: ssl_key_file: Can't use /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key: Permission denied Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
looks like a non-root prompt ...
~$ sudo ls -dl /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2013-11-27 08:35 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key -> /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
using sudo here, so yes...
Since doveconf reads the ssl cert, the user that runs doveconf needs access to the file too. Try again as root (or using sudo)...
