But I should have asked the question on the CentOS list, as you suggest; though I must admit one is more likely to get an answer here, even if the question is not strictly relevant. > 2 - Chances are that logs are going to /var/log/maillog That did indeed give the solution. Thank you. For some reason the error messages from dovecot now go to /var/log/maillog , while the old version set up a directory /var/log/dovecot . It turned out the problem was to do with the certificate I was using. > 3 - Was there an actual question somewhere?
