I'm afraid that this is likely to be a problem.

Cyrus (imap/tls.c) uses SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file() rather than the more advanced SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() to set up its certificate. My experience with other applications is that you need to use the _chain_ version in order for chained certificates to work.

Given that the two functions can be used interchangably, Cyrus should probably be using SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(). The SSL manual
page for the two functions certainly recommends this.

David, could you open up a bug report to this extent?
