Hi,
On a debian server after an update to dovecot to 2.3.4.1 imaps mail client stop working. I’ve applied necessary migration for ssl_dh (cf https://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3> ) but that was not enough. The workaround I’ve setup was to remove password protection from the ssl_key file. All tests with ssl_key_password parameter failled (direct password, <path-file-with-password)
searching I’ve found a message reporting a problem with that parameter and Stephan said it was tracked internally as DOP-851
Hope this will help.
Regards, Franck
