Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get certificate CRL

[Laura Smith]

I'm having a frustrating problem trying to use "doveadm sync" to pull mails off a server for migration purposes.

# 2.3.17.1 (476cd46418): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.5.17.1 (a1a0b892)
# OS: Linux 5.10.0-11-amd64 x86_64 Debian 11.2

I have tried both explicit "ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs" and commenting it out (i.e. relying on OpenSSL default per the docs)

I always get the same:
Info: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get issuer certificate: /C=US/O=Internet Security Research Group/CN=ISRG Root X1 (check ssl_client_ca_* se
ttings?)
 Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get issuer certificate: /C=US/O=Internet Sec
urity Research Group/CN=ISRG Root X1 (check ssl_client_ca_* settings?) - disconnecting

openssl s_client -starttls imap -servername $name -connect $name:143 is happy though:

---
Certificate chain
 0 s:CN = <REDACTED>
   i:C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3
 1 s:C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3
   i:C = US, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1
 2 s:C = US, O = Internet Security Research Group, CN = ISRG Root X1
   i:O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3
