Fixed In Version: dovecot-2.0.9-17.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix

Prior to this update, dovecot logged a redundant "unable to get certificate" error message when no certification revocation list (CRL) was available. With this update, dovecot no longer treats missing CRL as an error, and no longer logs an error in the mentioned scenario.
