Summary
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200812-16.
Solution
All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-mail/dovecot-1.1.7-r1'
Users should be aware that dovecot.conf will still be world-readable after the update. If employing ssl_key_password, it should not be used in dovecot.conf but in a separate file which should be included with 'include_try'.
