Looks like the 3.0 docs need to be updated so they don't say the setting was released in 2.3.19. Do you know if that setting is ever going to make it into 2.3? ___ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org

CE/3.0 is the „commercial/enterprise“ version of dovecot, where you need to pay money for a support contract, whereas 2.3 is the „community“ version, which is available for free. These version are basically the same for most aspect, but some features beeing available in the paid enterprise version only. > PS: I'm aware of the arguments regarding privacy/RFCs with regards to mail > headers. This is just a small mail server for personal use though. In this case it matters even less. „Hiding“ vital parts of a technology, for imagined „security“ is never a good/right option.

Hi! Unfortunately you are looking at Dovecot 3.0 (2.4 CE) settings. Please see https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/ for 2.3 settings. Aki Sorry, I seem to have missed that. I hope this isn't a silly question, but I'm wondering what the difference between 'regular' Dovecot and the 'CE'/3.0 edition is? I can't seem to find much information on this. Why are there different versions? PS: I'm aware of the arguments regarding privacy/RFCs with regards to mail headers. This is just a small mail server for personal use though.

Re: submission_add_received_header option?
For the record, you should never 'hide' the connecting IP, that information is very valuable for all abuse handling, and so you can quickly see when someone reports spam from your network, who is abusing it.. the whole privacy vs security debates aside please.. And it also allows other spam protections to better act on it, eg if the IP is on a DROP rbl, or an auth RBL like RATS-AUTH, etc.. A lot of information can be gathered on the actor behind BEC if the authenticating IP is part of that data.. And given that much of the world uses a NAT connection, it's not like the IP is really PPI.. There is a lot more PPI being gathered from other parts of the email.

submission_add_received_header option?
Hi, I've recently upgraded my mail server from Debian 11 to Debian 12. It now runs dovecot 2.3.19.1 (verified with dovecot --version).
