I still can't see anything amiss.  Here's the output from doveconf -n:

And showing with -P as an example:

protocol pop3 {
   ssl_dh = -----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----
MIIBCAKCAQEAo4NpFI4fpUe65FVv1hotVS9pTUbCKs1ypGRZcFMXzpsXPqHU+M4s
...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-----END DH PARAMETERS-----

There is a single set of valid DH parameters for every protocol as 
listed above.

It seems odd that ssl_dh is defined all of these protocols specifically 
too.  This specific per-protocol definition of ssl_dh isn't specified in 
any config file.

Can you try with doveconf -nP? and ensure all those ssl_dh lines are of

That's the thing.? Those extra ssl_dh lines aren't actually specified in
my conf files, they have been inherited from somewhere - so I can't 
change them to be of any particular form because they aren't defined as 
being that way in my configuration files.

There is only one place where ssl_dh is defined and that's in the global 
10-ssl.conf file.? See here:

lightning dovecot # grep ssl_dh *
grep: conf.d: Is a directory
lightning dovecot # grep ssl_dh */*
conf.d/10-ssl.conf:# gives on startup when ssl_dh is unset.
conf.d/10-ssl.conf:ssl_dh=</etc/dovecot/dh.pem
lightning dovecot #

The rest of them must be being inherited from that statement above.

But back to the original question, if I *remove* the ssl-parameters.dat 
file from /var/lib/dovecot/ then without any other configuration changes 
the error goes away on reload and from doveconf? output.? Not only that, 
but if the ssl-parameters.dat file is removed then those ssl_dh lines 
per-protocol in doveconf -n also disappear too.

To me that indicates that the mere presence of the ssl-parameters.dat 
file is doing something odd with the way the ssl_dh configuration 
statements are being handled.? Something buggy with backwards 
compatibility perhaps?

[Also tested with latest 2.3 -git as of today - same result]
