Hello,
I am using the mail_crypt plugin with Dovecot 2.3 and have issues trying to use a mail crypt private password which contains a percent "%" character as you can see below:
$ doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=SomethingWith\%Percent mailbox cryptokey generate -u email at domain.tld -URf
doveadm(email at domain.tld): Error: Failed to expand plugin setting mail_crypt_private_password = 'SomethingWith%Percent': Unknown variable '%P'
Note here that the percent is escaped with a backslash "\%" in order for the shell not to process it.
Regards,
Mabi
