I have been running dovecot 1.2.10 without problems. I am trying to install 2.0.beta3. I have I think translated all my configuration customizations correctly, but I have problems.

I can start dovecot, but I can't login, at least not with SSL.

Here's my dovecot -n

# 2.0.beta3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 CentOS release 5 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain apop login auth_worker_max_count = 5 mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl dotlock passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.passwd deny = no driver = passwd-file master = no pass = no } passdb { deny = no driver = pam master = no pass = no } ssl_cert = /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem ssl_key = /etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem userdb { driver = passwd }

Note the files /etc/postfix/sbh16-cert.pem and /etc/postfix/sbh16-key.pem exist and are the same files I use with dovecot 1.2.

Dovecot starts OK, but when I try to connect with a pop3 or imap client, the connection is established, but no response is sent to the client.

Here are the dovecot entries from the maillog from startup through the failed pop3 and imap logins.

I suspect I've overlooked something in the config or I have something wrong, but I don't know what.
