ok san is only useable if the cert is setup that way

i bought a proper *.scom.ca wildcard ssl cert for my domain

i then buy mail.xxx.com certs for the other domains

sni works well when configured this way.

granted san might or might not work (i never tries that) however san was
designed more for apache web servers vs email etc

san does allow adding domains but i more complicated to control what the
cert is doing (or not)

sound like what i did will work better for you situation

example sni.conf file (import this at the end of your main dovecot.conf file

using :

#Addition ssl config
!include sni.conf

please note that below i wront a python script to pull the cert from a
db table

getssl.cert

all it does it return the text for the ssl cert (key first then
certificate then both Intermediate certs)

you can point this to an ssl key file (the old way) formatted the same

either will work

note you need both the default cert setup AND the local name as well

a *. signifies a wildcard ssl cert

like *.scom.ca

note you need to do something similiar in postfix as well for this to
work across smtp + dovecot
