Generating SSL, tips and conclusion
Just now generate your SSL certificate and key
# cd /etc/postfix/
# openssl genrsa 1024 > mail-key.pem
# chmod 400 mail-key.pem
# openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key mail-key.pem > mail-cert.pem
I tested and got into production everything was done here.
Packages used:
- postfix.i386 2:2.3.3-2.1.centos.mysql_pgsql
- dovecot.i386 1.0.7-7.el5
- mysql-server.i386 5.0.77-4.el5_5.4
- httpd.i386 2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3

in Postfix master.cf file, there MUST BE a white character preceding line "flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail (...). Otherwise Posftix will die on startup.
These two lines must look EXACTLY like that:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient)
And there is a small mistake on page 4 in the first "mv" command. It should look like that:
mv postfixadmin-2.3.2 postfixadmin
Thank you for great tutorial! You did great job!
One more thing worth to note: in postifx master.cf file the line "flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail..." MUST BE PRECEDED WITH WHITE CHARACTER. Otherwise fetchmail will die on startup.
It needs to look eactly like this:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient)
And there is a small mistake on page 4, in first "mv" command:
WRONG: #mv postfixadmin-2.3.2.tar.gz postfixadmin
GOOD: # mv postfixadmin-2.3.2 postfixadmin
Thank you once again for great tutorial!
NOTE on comment #3: when you copy&paste into config files, look out for new line characters in copied lines. Remove new line characters in mysql queries in dovecot-sql.conf
[root@centos55 etc]# service dovecot start
Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ]
[root@centos55 etc]# service dovecot status
dovecot dead but subsys locked.
Result in /var/log/maillog. I can't find anything about this by Google searching. Have been beating my head on it for days. Any guidance with this would be awsome.

Thank you!
