Re: `mail_crypt` Doesn't Appear to be Working

Dovecot version: 2.2.22 (fe789d2)

From the mail_crypt page:

“This feature is available in v2.2.27+”

I generated an EC key from the page https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/. For
reference here's my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail-crypt.conf file:

----
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt

plugin {
# mail_crypt_global_private_key = </etc/dovecot/ecprivkey.pem
mail_crypt_global_public_key = </etc/dovecot/ecpubkey.pem
mail_crypt_save_version = 2
}
----

I saw in a previous message on this mailing list that messages can be
encrypted without the private key, so it's stored elsewhere. :-)

After restarting dovecot and sending myself a message I found that the message
was still unencrypted. Nothing in /var/log/dovecot/*.log files or syslog
indicated any problem loading the plugin (I even made some mistakes with the
filename beforehand, and errors indicated it was trying to find the plugin).

In case in matters dovecot was installed as part of the automated iredmail
install (https://iredmail.org). I didn't modify the dovecot.conf file after
installation (except for thinking I needed to add `mail_crypt` to `plugins`,
then figuring I didn't).

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
