Is that the patch that Aki said doesn't always work?
I am sure Aki has some corner cases where Dovecot will not work with OpenSSL 3. That is one of the reasons Open-Xchange has not been releasing their community builds against Debian 12 (bookworm) cf. https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/ :
Index of /ce-2.3-latest/debian/ ../ bullseye/ 14-Sep-2023 11:41 buster/ 14-Sep-2023 11:41
If you do not use EC crypt for mail-crypt-plugin (or not encrypt stored mails at the dovecot level at all), you should be avoiding the most likely area of corner-cases by design.
I'm also on Debian 12.5 (recently upgraded), with debian-packaged dovecot, but I haven't seen any issues - should I be worried?
Debian has received no bug reports on that, so you can be reasonably sure it works well. Sysadmins running thousands of mail servers have tested before you.
If it makes you feel better, the patch originated from Red Hat and is included in their RHEL product as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1962035
Kind regards, Daniel
