I have manually compiled and installed Dovecot from git on Ubuntu 24.04 server. I have then brought in a config from a running server - basically I copied the /etc/dovecot to this server and customized the params necessary. Now I am getting this error and I am not sure why:
root@lists:/home/wash# doveconf -n
