Report Details

Technical Details

Recommended

You can provide most of the system related information with dovecot-sysreport command.

Provide Dovecot configuration produced by dovecot -n.

If the output does doesn't already show it, specify also:

• Dovecot version
• Operating system or Linux distribution name
• CPU architecture (x86 or something else?)
• Filesystem you used (especially if you use NFS or not)

TIP

Don’t send the whole dovecot.conf file, it’s way too large especially if you don’t remove the comments.

Problem Description

Some kind of description of what you were doing and with what mail (e.g., IMAP) client.

Reproducible Testcase

If the problem can be reproduced, it helps a lot if you can tell how. If it happens only with a specific mail, add it as attachment if possible.

WARNING

Don't send sensitive details in your report.

You can hide all the actual mail data from messages using mbox-anonymize.
