Re: Config file syntax: secrets from file in key=value

Hi Aki!

You can use $ENV:variable syntax with Dovecot v2.3.14+. The environment variable needs to be listed in import_environment setting and be available for dovecot process on startup.

Thank you for your answer. I will test it tomorrow.

I thought it was not supported because I interpreted

Expansion only works when it’s surrounded by spaces.

as it not being able to use for e.g.

default_fields = pass=$ENV:MY_ENV_VARIABLE

If it does indeed work I will submit a pull request clarifying the documentation.

Cheers, Tob
