Sorry, the output of "dovecot -n" is
--------------------------------------------------
[tim at alfred ~]$ dovecot -n
# 1.0.3: /etc/dovecot.conf
Error: Can't use SSL certificate /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem: 
Permission denied
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot.conf
--------------------------------------------------
I assumed the only piece of useful information here was the version number.

Is /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem really supposed to be world-readable?

The output as root is
--------------------------------------------------
[root at alfred tim]# dovecot -n
# 1.0.3: /etc/dovecot.conf
