dovecot - Mar 2016 - Dovecot stops responding when I update SSL certificate

Time to put an end to this saga...

I had an issue that Dovecot refused to serve an updated SSL certificate 
- one that Postfix had no issue with. Though I quadruple-checked that 
the cert file and private key file were correct, in the end I simply 
directed both cert and key files to the file I was using for Postfix 
(which had both the cert and private key). That worked. Darned if I know 
what it didn't like about the other files, but I'm back in business with
the new cert.  Thanks for the responsiveness from Aki.

Try diff-ing the two files (postfix vs dovecot) to see if any problem can be
found there. (If you are still interested :D)
