Graceful dovecot reload for LE certificate renewals

[Sidsel Jensen]

Hi Dovecot-gurus

With the introduction of LE certificates the certificate renewal cycle is a lot faster, unfortunately even a "dovecot reload" cuts the existing connections when doing the cert updates, which is quite frustrating - and yes most clients automatically reconnect but still...

Is any work going into implementing a more “graceful reload” for dovecot like the one for nginx where existing connections are preserved with the old cert and new connections get the new cert?

Kind Regards,
