I have a new install of dovecot 2.3.13, along with exim 4.94, in an Azure hosted FreeBSD 12.2 VM. I have been running exim on local hardware with FreeBSD for 15+ years, but dovecot and Azure are a new "learning experience". I am getting an error response in dovecot.log when trying to use the submission relay function, which is apparently new in 2.3... It would appear the parser is either broken or has a character set limitation that no other smtp implementation has. I finally gave up trying to figure out what I might have done wrong in setting up exim and pointed dovecot at mailjet and got the same error.

I didn't try the mailjet path with telnet, but I had done that earlier with the local exim server and I can't see any invalid characters, even in the tcpdump pcap file.

There is your problem. We should probably allow this in Dovecot (seen this problem before), but the underscore in the X_PIPE_CONNECT capability is not allowed in SMTP.

Stephan.
This might be some confusion about starttls on the mailjet path, but if that is true the error message is wrong; and it wouldn't be true for the local exim open smtp port. If it really is smtp, it would be most helpful if the error message actually reported what string it is taking issue with.
I have the dovecot-sysreport, but I am not encouraged about sending it when stdout presented: # dovecot-sysreport Gathering configurations ... grep: The -P option is not supportedgrep: The -P option is not supported grep: The -P option is not supported Gathering system informations ... Creating archive ... All done! Please report file dovecot-sysreport-TNDH-mail-1623209001.tar.gz Removing temp files at /tmp/tmp.kphlba44 ... #
While dovecot -n stdout presented the line: ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it
expecting people to put sensitive configuration on a public mail list without knowing what the tool is including is a challenge, but when the tool is errantly using the command line option that is also used for exposing the private data by a related tool, it is even less likely that I want to do that. While the dovecot -n option did hide passwords, it did not hide the username associated with that. I will put dovecot -n (redacted) here, but until I have time to see exactly what the sysreport included, I am not releasing that.
