Why so aggressive?
because there is a documentation and the only correct answer not following that is "you are in the area of undefined bahvior"
I just noticed that I missed the "<" and wondered whether if makes a difference because it seems to work without it
most likely because some follow up commit to work around woring configurations
I know where to find the documentation but searching for this question is a bit hard since I can't search for "<". And the wiki doesn't explain the syntax anyway.
that's not a dovecot syntax that's just unix
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ echo "bla" > test [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat < test bla
After reading the patch am I right in assuming that with "</" the variable in the dovecot code contains the certificate itself instead of the link to the file? And if that is correct: Was dovecot reading the file every time it needed it before the change?
no - < reads a file and without you are supposed to directly paste your certificate in the configuration instead point to a file
