Indeed the inet_listener ssl is a BOOL, as code says, whereas the master
one is an ENUM.  So the actual guix service looks correct.

The code for the master setting:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
static const struct setting_define master_setting_defines[] = {
	DEF(STR, base_dir),
	DEF(STR, state_dir),
	DEF(STR, libexec_dir),
	DEF(STR, instance_name),
	DEF(STR, protocols),
	DEF(STR, listen),
	DEF(ENUM, ssl),
	DEF(STR, default_internal_user),
	DEF(STR, default_internal_group),
	DEF(STR, default_login_user),
	DEF(UINT, default_process_limit),
	DEF(UINT, default_client_limit),
	DEF(TIME, default_idle_kill),
	DEF(SIZE, default_vsz_limit),

	DEF(BOOL, version_ignore),

	DEF(UINT, first_valid_uid),
	DEF(UINT, last_valid_uid),
	DEF(UINT, first_valid_gid),
	DEF(UINT, last_valid_gid),

	DEFLIST_UNIQUE(services, "service", &service_setting_parser_info),

	SETTING_DEFINE_LIST_END
};

static const struct master_settings master_default_settings = {
	.base_dir = PKG_RUNDIR,
	.state_dir = PKG_STATEDIR,
	.libexec_dir = PKG_LIBEXECDIR,
	.instance_name = PACKAGE,
	.protocols = "imap pop3 lmtp",
	.listen = "*, ::",
	.ssl = "yes:no:required",
	.default_internal_user = "dovecot",
	.default_internal_group = "dovecot",
	.default_login_user = "dovenull",
	.default_process_limit = 100,
	.default_client_limit = 1000,
	.default_idle_kill = 60,
	.default_vsz_limit = 256*1024*1024,

	.version_ignore = FALSE,

	.first_valid_uid = 500,
	.last_valid_uid = 0,
	.first_valid_gid = 1,
	.last_valid_gid = 0,

#ifndef CONFIG_BINARY
	.services = ARRAY_INIT
#else
	.services = { { &config_all_services_buf,
			     sizeof(struct service_settings *) } },
#endif
};
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The code for the inet_listener setting:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
static const struct setting_define inet_listener_setting_defines[] = {
	DEF(STR, name),
	DEF(STR, address),
	DEF(IN_PORT, port),
	DEF(BOOL, ssl),
	DEF(BOOL, reuse_port),
	DEF(BOOL, haproxy),

	SETTING_DEFINE_LIST_END
};
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers,
Clément
