> The Cure53 team were extremely impressed with the quality of the dovecot
> code. They wrote: "Despite much effort and thoroughly all-encompassing
> approach, the Cure53 testers only managed to assert the excellent
> security-standing of Dovecot. More specifically, only three minor security
> issues have been found in the codebase, thus translating to an
> exceptionally good outcome for Dovecot, and a true testament to the fact
> that keeping security promises is at the core of the Dovecot development
> and operations."
