  systemd with clean install 
Hi,

are there any news on this?
Or do we have to go the way install old dovecot/remove it or upgrade
instead of clean install?
Because as the ssl-params executaböe is missing in 2.3.0 I don't know
how else I should create it. If this file isn't even needed for 2.3.0
can it be a file with any content eg 'touch
/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat' so that the file is just there and
dovecot-init.servive doesn't want to call the
/usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params executable?

Thanks,
Thomas
