because running a mail server wasn’t fun enough: the Dovecot 2.3 → 2.4 update has tons of breaking config changes

(h/t to https://willem.com/blog/2025-06-04_breaking-changes/ for the exhaustive breakdown of the changes)

@rixx So far, the new docks are just terrible. I had to read source code to understand some of passwd-file changes (e.g. %{user} is not %{user | username}..), and still ended up with server behavior alterations.

@rixx I'm a bit confused, both local apt policy and packages.debian.org show version 2.3.19 for bookworm/stable. Am I missing something?

Either way, thanks for the head-up.
