So my conf looks similar to yours:

Reading the openssl book on page 120(chapter 5) it says that you
should have the whole chain in one file. I see
that if you are using the SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file
function(as dovecot1.2alpha4 ./login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c does),
you just need to put the whole chain in one file with the intermediate
SECOND and your certificate FIRST. The book also claims that you
should put the root certificate in here. I have seen conflicting
documentation on putting the root cert in here because as another
poster mentioned , you will never send it out. I may have missed a
post that had my info above so sorry if I'm giving already provided
information.

and the ssl_ca_file is a copy and past from this: http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/extended-validation...
Yet the cert still doesn't work. And the OpenSSL people are telling
me this is an issue with my application, dovecot.For reference this is all that is in my /etc/pki/verisign/intermediate_ca.cer:

Like I said, just a copy and paste from the Verisign site.
Any thoughts?
