dovecot 2.3.x, ECC and wildcard certificates, any issues

[David Mehler]

Hi,

Thanks, good news is that worked. Bad news is it all looks good which
means I do not know hwhy my remote clients can't get their email,
looked like from the logs it was that.

Would 143 be better or 993 for the external clients?

Thanks.
Dave.
