Which setting was it complaining about? ssl_client_* settings? or 
ssl_server_cert?

Hmm. Very strange. Seems to happen only when logging to syslog. Then it happens 
after running "doveadm reload" twice. I don't understand why it happens though. 
Seems to be some kind of memory corruption but of course it doesn't happen when 
running with valgrind. Need to try to debug further tomorrow.

Answering some more comments in the thread also:

v1.x config lasted for 8 years. v2.x config lasted for 15 years. It was getting 
kludgy enough that it was finally time to change it.

There are unfortunately some differences between v2.3 and v2.4 that simple 
automatic config conversion wouldn't be possible in all situations. Especially 
settings coming from userdb lookups work a bit differently now.

Currently nothing I'm aware of. The main trouble is people paying for Dovecot 
would expect some kind of support, especially for difficult questions, which 
would then go all the way to development team to figure out, and take time out 
of development. In theory we could of course grow the development team, but 
that's a lot of trouble as well.
