Source: dovecot
Version: 1:2.2.13-7
Severity: serious

After upgrading to this version, I cannot connect to dovecot's imap or
pop servers.

joey@darkstar:~>telnet kitenet.net imap
Trying 66.228.36.95...
Connected to kite.kitenet.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Offlineimap fails connecting to imaps; the ssl handshake fails.

journald has logged:

I suppose it's not cooincidental that the change in -7 had something to
do with cert locations. My dovecot cert appears to be in
/etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem, and it starts with 
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

Downgrading to -6 worked around this.
