We have a TLS certificate installed, and it is working for outgoing TLS connections:

However, once we started to route internal traffic through the Proxmox, servers trying to use TLS to connect to Proxmox starting generating these errors:

In: STARTTLS
Out: 454 4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem

syslog shows:
warning: No private key found in /etc/pmg/pmg-tls.pem

pmg-tls.pem is in the correct format:

-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Ideas?
 
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
on a hunch - it looks as if the key is protected by a passphrase - this does not work (in the very least because you'd need to enter the passphrase whenever postfix starts)

Create a key without passphrase and a certificate based on it and use that.

I hope this helps!
