one thing would be fine too

* having a PEM file with Cert/Key/Intermediate-CA
* in that case no need for "ssl_ca_name" in "ssl_multicert.config"

the valid usecase here is that the wildcard-cert we are using starting
with 2014/01 is used for mail, http and whatnot - dovecot has no config
for the CA file, so the PEM file contains already the full chain which
looks like at the bottom

in case of different certs from different CA's used for different
services this my make things less error-prone, not a big deal, only
a wish if someone has the knowledge and is willing to implement it

Chained SSL certificates

Put all the certificates in the ssl_cert file. For example when using a 
certificate
signed by TDC the correct order is:
    Dovecot's public certificate
    TDC SSL Server CA
    TDC Internet Root CA
    Globalsign Partners CA
