Thanks, Aki!

I was about to post essentially the same problem (except in my case fetchmail executes deliver). What you sent makes it work for me.

I'd like to understand a bit more, if you've got time to explain or point to relevant doc sections.

* Is this expected behavior in 2.4, or is it considered a bug?

* If it's expected behavior, why does this workaround work?

Thanks again,

-Martin

        if world can read private keys, then is sooks :)

      I know that.

      I simply wanted to know whether what "looks more like syntax error than
      permission error" goes away if I change the permission.
      And it does.

    Looks like my mail client showed your email wrong. Apologies.

    You can workaround this issue with

    ssl = no
    !try_include /etc/dovecot/ssl.conf

    and put

    ssl = yes
    ssl_server {
       ...
    }

    in ssl.conf and chmod 0640 root:root.
