Dovecot 2.3.17 can not start - too many parameters. but the same config is working on 2.3.16 (and for a long time already ...)

started via systemd unit file :

[Unit] Description=Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server Documentation=man:dovecot(1) Documentation=http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ After=local-fs.target network.target dnsmasq.service NetworkManager-wait-online.service network-online.target Requires=network.target network-online.target dnsmasq.service local-fs.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf PIDFile=/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/master.pid ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/doveadm reload ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/doveadm stop PrivateTmp=true NonBlocking=yes LimitNOFILE=8192 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

log: Oct 29 18:48:58 lxc-imap dovecot[1781]: doveconf: Fatal: execvp(/usr/local/sbin/dovecot) failed: Argument list too long Oct 29 18:48:58 lxc-imap systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=89/n/a Oct 29 18:48:58 lxc-imap systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

but when I run doveconf -n, it is working under 2.3.17 I needed to revert to version 2.3.16 to send this email ;-)

running on Ubuntu impish
