I have a dovecot/postfix server as well and am using lets encrypt for ssl, and am experiencing this issue too. I do not think it's an issue with self signed certificates.


No VPN here either.


Curious, has anybody brought this up on any Dovecot mailing lists yet? Or somewhere else? I am looking at their recent archives and see nothing. I do see this mentioned on Mac Rumors forums.


I have dovecot 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) on a stock Debian 12 system at the moment. Postfix is working fine.
