Hello Klaus,
this leads to
# 2.4.1-4 (7d8c0e5759): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 2.4.1-4 (0a86619f)
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 23: cert_file : Unknown setting:
cert_file (ssl_server_cert_file not found either.)
So there definitely seems to be something going wrong here. What confuses
me is that it doesn't complain about the certificates not being found but
just complaining about the setting being unknown.
After copying-pasting your example into my config, creating the
directories and adding symlinks to the actual certificates the error
disappeared.
It continues working now with the original config and with the symlinks
removed.
It must have been some spurious parsing error, I can't find any difference
between before and now. Even my original conf without ssl_server { ...
} works now again.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Best,
David

Hi David,
try:

key_file = /etc/dovecot/ssl/private/privkey.pem
}
Greetings
