Ah, thanks a lot for that. I was trying to find any information about that, but couldn’t really (perhaps my google-fu isn’t that great)!

Would you know if Dovecot project uses an issue tracker which is publicly available, and which I can check? I didn’t see Issues section on the GitHub page with the repo..

Thanks again!
Best Regards,
