installing dovecot: no dovecot-openssl.conf

[Webster, Andrew]

Unless you absolutely need SSL support, edit the configuration so as not
to use SSL.
If you do want to use SSL, you will probably want to generate yourself a
self-signed certificate, and then get a real cert from a 3rd party cert
provider when you are ready to go into production.  See
http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt
Place the resulting files in the expected locations, and give it a go.

Subject: installing dovecot: no dovecot-openssl.conf

I have installed /usr/ports/dovecot.

When I try to start it, using '/usr/local/etc/rc.d dovecot start' it
complains
"Error: Can't use SSL certificate /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: No such
file or directory"
Reading '/usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/configuration.txt' says
"If you need to create new SSL certificate, edit dovecot-openssl.cnf and
run mkcert.sh."
but I cannot find a file 'dovecot-openssl.cnf' or 'mkcert.sh' and have
no 'etc/ssl/certs/' (or /usr/share/ssl or /usr/local/share/ssl)
