But I use FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p15 with native compiler. Really nobody has this problem on freebsd?

And the main - Why I can't start dovecot without SSL :) Why I see in log "pop3-login: BUG: SSL initialization parameters not given while they should have been" even if I have "ssl_disable = yes" in dovecot.conf 1.0b3 works fine. This problem is main for me because I don't want to use SSL.

I tried to add --without-ssl in port's Makefile and compile dovecot without ssl. But I have all the same seen "pop3-login: BUG: SSL initialization parameters not given while they should have been"

When I have set "ssl_disable = no" I saw another error: "Error: SSL support not compiled in but ssl_disable=no"

WITHOUT_KQUEUE=true WITHOUT_SASL2=true WITHOUT_GSSAPI=true WITHOUT_VPOPMAIL=true WITHOUT_LDAP=true WITHOUT_PGSQL=true WITH_MYSQL=true WITHOUT_SQLITE=true

only mysql is enable
