dovecot 2.2.27 and then 2.2.36 (tried both) Trying to enable mail-crypt in global key mode. Nothing is ever encrypted, even when I move mail from folder to folder. I have tried everything available to find here, google, etc and I assume I am missing something fundamental. Debug log shows the plugin loading Jun 15 08:26:00 srv2 dovecot: POP3(rick): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot Jun 15 08:26:00 srv2 dovecot: POP3(rick): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/lib10_mail_crypt_plugin.so Jun 15 08:26:00 srv2 dovecot: POP3(rick): Debug: mail_crypt_plugin: mail_crypt_curve setting missing - generating EC keys disabled (I assume because global not per user)
my 10-mailcrypt.conf in .conf.d mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt
plugin { mail_crypt_global_private_key =
I have also tried base64 encoded .pem files inline. I have also added the mail_plugins line to my protocol definitions to no avail and when I do that dovecot -n shows the lines as mail_plugins = " mail_crypt mail_crypt" so I assume it's a mistake to add mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt to the protocol sections. Some online tutorials say must do this and others do not mention it at all.
Just looking for some guidance as to where to go next.
