[Dovecot] Dovecot Postfix and ssl_require_client_cert

[mezzo]

Hi,

I have a working mail system with postfix 2.7 and dovecot 1.2.15. I use
secure connections for imap and smtp. When I try to use client certificate
authorisation I have some problems. As soon as I enable the dovecot feature
ssl_require_client_cert I have to present a valid certificate to receive or
send email. Receiving emails works fine, but I can not send emails any more. 

The only way I could get this to work was to disable smtpd_sasl_auth_enable
so postfix did not tries to get authorisation from dovecot. This way I can
not have sasl authorisation for localnet and client certificate
authorisation from extern.

The reson seams to be that postfix does not sent the valid-client-cert along
with the other parameter that are needed to satisfy the auth-process of
dovecot. 

I found a few threads from 2008 where this problem is discussed but without
a final solution. 

Is there a way to enable ssl_require_client_cert in dovecot and have
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes in postfix? Better would be a way to tell dovecot
only to use ssl_require_client_cert during the imap autorisation. 

I did not get it to work. I miss something?

Cheers
