After creating a new virtual domain on a mostly new server and creating a new mail address I can send and receive from whe usermin interface. Nevertheless, I cannot get Outlook or Thunderbird to configure properly. Having a look at the dovecot logs I can see it does not seem to be running and havig a look at the service status I can see this:
idiriaslu@vm01:~$ systemctl status dovecot

It seems the dovecot service cannot be started because it cannot find host SSL files (I guess). This host was created with a name and then I changed the host name to another thing (xxx on the posted text). How can I solve this? What certificates is dovecot looking for, host or virtual domain? If it is host’s will it be enough to recreate and assign as default certificates or do I need to edit dovecot conf by hand?
Thanks in advance,
Jose
