Hello,

I submitted this issue to Debian with a patch https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1112667

But I since found a lot of them have actually come directly from Dovecot via https://github.com/dovecot/tools/blob/main/dovecot-2.4.0-example-config.tar.... which itself is referenced via https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html

I see on that page "It's not being kept up-to-date afterwards".. so is there any interest in receiving corrections and if so where best to provide (Patch file is on the Debian page)?

These are just typos, nothing breaking (although "# auth_username_format=%u" in auth-passwdfile.conf.ext if uncommented is of course incorrect and only in the Dovecot tools version, it's not in the Debian version).

As an aside, I found on my instance (Debian 2.4.1-4 (7d8c0e5759)):

root@IMAP:~# doveconf -d | grep -i sieve

"sieve_script_path ="

But the docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/plugins/sieve.html#sieve_script_path) state the default should be "~/sieve"

This led to some funky "Leaked settings" errors:

System is working well (and if the typos / inconsistencies aren't interesting then I completely understand), thank you for all your hard work.

Kind Regards, Matthew
