This is weird, because I have another server, running Xymon 4.3.28 too, > that is not reporting any issue.
My IMAPS & POPS3S daemon is dovecot 2.3.4.1-5+deb10u1

Sometimes, the test goes green for few minutes.

I'm not a debian specialist, but check the TLS protocol offerer by
dovecot on this server. I had the same issue on freebsd when monitoring
a dovecot offering TLS 1.3 even if xymon was build on a server running
the same openssl version offering TLS 1.3.

I replaced the imaps/pop3s test by a perl scripts extension using
IO::Socket::SSL build with the same openssl and it fixed the issue.

I reported this issue on this list but never got any answer.

I am seeing the exact same issue with Courier-IMAP on Gentoo Linux. It remains yellow most of the day, but randomly goes green for a few minutes. The odd thing is that the sslcert test gets the certs and displays the proper info there.
