Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1:2.2.13-11
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I've had three attempts at installing dovecot on a fresh jessie install. Played
with various configurations to try to connect with/without ssl. The 1st
appended confile is before altering the configs.

Added 'login' in 10-auth.conf
auth_mechanisms = plain login
Change mail_location in 10-mail.conf
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
Restart dovecot: refused connection from client on the network
In 10-ssl.conf
ssl = yes
and uncommented:
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
Restart dovecot: refused connection from client on the network
No dovecot.pem in either location referred to in 10-ssl.conf
Ran /usr/share/dovecot/mkcert.sh which gave:
3074340540:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
directory:bss_file.c:169:fopen('dovecot-openssl.cnf','rb')
3074340540:error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:bss_file.c:172:

Here's the output from doveconf -n after the configuration changes:
# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 8.0
auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace inbox {

location =
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts

mailbox Junk {

}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Trash {

}
prefix =

passdb {

}
protocols = " imap"

userdb {

}
I've installed and upgraded dovecot a number of times over the last few years
and I've never had to alter the conf files beyond adding:
protocols = imap imaps
Other than that it worked straight out of the box. I can't help feeling I'm
missing something obvious but ...
