Hi, I've set up dovecot to use imaps/pops with certificates that I signed with my own CA. When I try to start it using service dovecot start it fails. I've tried disabling imaps in the config file and it starts fine so it seems it's the certificate part of the config. If,however, I start it with '/usr/sbin/dovecot -F' or even '/usr/sbin/dovecot' it starts! I've looked over the dovecot startup script but, can't seem to see anything that would hinder startup. I didn't have this problem with self-signed certs??? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
