Solved ssl_configuration=old causing dovecot crash

[petersconsult]

Hello all,

Just a quick note, if you use the DirectAdmin setting:

ssl_configuration=old

it will add the line:

ssl_server_prefer_ciphers=yes

in:
/etc/dovecot/conf/ssl.conf

and prevent dovecot from starting..
as far as i can tell, the values for 'ssl_server_prefer_ciphers' should be 'client' (preferred) or 'server', not 'yes'

i set ssl_configuration to intermediate and that line no longer appears, and dovecot is happy again..
However, it could be a problem for people who need ssl_configuration set to old..
if that's the case, maybe override the value in custombuild

i hope this helps!
