pop and imap stopped and master respawning too rapidly

over a year ago had made a number of manual config (main.cf only) changes and every thing was working fine until today after I tweaked a few settings using the updated server admin tool.

imap.conf
-----------------------

configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap

Duh.

just noticed in imap.conf
tls ca_filecontent:
tls commonname:

were both empty. Looks like when I toggled the setting it did not correctly reset.

I deleted both lines from the conf file and restarted just fine.
