Objection: assumes facts not in evidence.

This is the way it is supposed to work now in dovecot, so, either it is
now broken, was always broken (I haven't had an opportunity to test it
since I was forced to migrate our email server to Office365 last year),
or you are not doing it right.

But we'd need to see your config to make that determination...
