Thanks Markus and Oscar...

Aside from the missing indirection (use ... = </etc/... as you did before) the documentation indicates that ssl_ca is only used for client certificate verification and has nothing to do with the certificate chain of your server certificate.

Yeah, the < was in the config, dunno how it got stripped from my post - or maybe I manually typed those - yeah, I think I did...

Instead, cat your new server certificate together with the CA certificates into one file and point ssl_cert to this file (see "Chained SSL certificates" in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration ).

Ok, did that and made the config change and restarted dovecot.

Everything seems to be working, BUT... I'm now seeing some of these errors, that were not showing up in the logs before:

!2 total in the last 25 minutes since flipping the switch.

and there have been two of these:

Not a huge number, but enough to be concerning...

Could this just be from cached junk from some clients, and they will resolve themselves over time?
