[Dovecot] Help setting up SSL?

Mike,

I am also experiencing a similar error message; only using Mozilla
and "mutt" clients against FreeBSD 4.8 (using the install from ports);
I get the same "decryption failed or bad record mac" error, but I 
don't get the remaining messages you have.

Anyway, it seems there is a similar issue on the modssl list,
http://www.mail-archive.com/modssl-users@modssl.org/msg16180.html
and it looks like it may be related to a newer version of OpenSSL
which perhaps changed a few interfaces without broadcasting it
loudly enough?  

I'm must a simple user here... so I don't even know where to begin
tracking this bugger down.

Best,

Clark
