As long as it's only dovecot (IMAP) and not anything doing SMTP, there should be 
no reputation issue...

Just an FYI..

High levels' of AUTH attacks originating from that space as well.  To 
the point we even have a reputation list just for that IP space, in case 
you want to block AUTH attacks from it.


There was a quote from an MS engineer who even placed doubt on accepting 
an email from the Azure space.. of course, the world evolves, but 
without a 'rwhois' or SWIP that shows transparency, I would not 
recommend it..

Hi Kristie,

community edition of dovecot mail server is not supported as per such, so feel 
free to run it anywhere you get it running. However, dovecot pro has object 
storage, which makes it more suitable for running in cloud environment.

I have a question regarding the Dovecot Server compatibility with Azure Cloud, which our application is migrating to.  We are currently using Dovecot Mail Server v2.3.4.  I need to verify that the software is compatible with that type of environment or what we would need to continue using the software once we migrate.
