- Rogier Wolff:
a few days ago my [Let's Encrypt] certificate expired and the fetchmail deamon running in the background had nowhere to complain. [...] Feature request: check the expiry date on the SSL certificate as it is being loaded and check for a new certificate if it HAS expired.
That's not something Dovecot needs to worry about. You did not specify what mechanism you use to update your certificates, but both certbot and duplicity (likely the most common tools for Linux) support post-update hooks that let you automatically reload/restart Dovecot whenever a certificate update occurs.
