Hi there. I've been using Dovecot for quite some time now but I just started using Let's Encrypt certs. Since LE certs are renewed automatically without user intervention I'm wondering if I will need to restart dovecot after that renewal...

Has anybody had any experience with that?

Thanks so much for your help!

Ignacio

From my experience, restart is required.

On Debian Strech, I edited cron job to:

certbot -q renew --renew-hook 'service dovecot restart' --renew-hook 'service postfix reload'

This works fine for me:

certbot renew --deploy-hook "service dovecot restart"
