I've read the client ssl cert section in the wiki and it talks about using a self signed cert, if I am using a commercial cert, in this case godaddy, how do I implement a self signed cert for the client side and have dovecot make use of this? I know the mechanics of setting up the self signed ca, the question is more what configuration changes do I need to make in dovecot to handle both godaddy and the self signed ca functionality?
if you have a commercial cert, you don't need a self signed cert. self signed certs are for people who don't want to get a cert signed by a 3d party (commercial or other). For email, you generally don't need a commercial certificate because your users know you and you know them, and because users don't connect to thousand imap servers.
