Thanks for trying to help me.

I did not see anywhere on dovecotts website or in the insall file where it
said that I needed to create these certificates. I tried dovecot on one of
my fedora machines with no problems. Could you please be kind enough to
tell me how to create a ssl certificate for dovecot?

Thanks,
AD
