This is one way of supplying cert + key to a daemon and no, the key is 
not sent to the client.

While it is normaly true that one doesn't want the key to have access 
rights other than 0600, with dovecot as the file owner of the 
key+cert+intermediate .pem file the access rights can be set to 0600.
