I am configuring a new mailserver. Postfix works and is getting configured according to our wishes.
Dovecot is more stubborn: for some reason I'm not able to understand, it refuses to "initialize SSL server context". complaining that "Can't load SSl Certificate". I believe I have configured the same certificate (and accompanying key) for imap-login that I use for https. But dovecot does not agree. I looked at error:14187180. All I found were errors on the configuration for the Certs cq Keys which I think I am avoiding .
Two questions: Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can you clarify dovecot's error message? Jaap
Server:
- Rocky Linux 9.6 kernel 5.14.0-570.28.1
- Dovecot 2.3.21.1
- Openssl 3.2.2
- Certbot 3.1.0
Dovecot 2.3 does not have OpenSSL 3.x support from us, you are using 3rd party patch. Please open bug with Rocky Linux about this.
OpenSSL 3.x is supported only with Dovecot 2.4.
