damn. I'm tired... anyway, I swear I've RTFM but I didn'n find this switch.

Well, preferred way to start Dovecot is to run it via dovecot master binary, not via inetd. I should write some page about it to wiki I guess..

What's tho switch for debug ? now I've got this: pop3-login: Oct 01 16:49:56 Fatal: SSL initialization failed and some more verbosity would prevent me from bothering you again

The error messages are usually quite good I think. This is one exception, I'll fix it. Anyway, two possibilities:

a) Dovecot wasn't compiled with SSL support at all.

Install prefix ...................... : /usr File offsets ........................ : 64bit Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with user database modules . : static passwd passwd-file ldap pgsql mysql (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam ldap pgsql mysql (modules)

b) ssl_disable = yes

it's not disabled...
