dovecot - Jul 2019 - Percent character in mail_crypt_private_password not possible

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

Hi, you need to escape % with %%. We are aware of a bug affecting when % comes
in from some field via userdb, and we are looking into how to fix this.

Hi Aki,

Thank you very much for your very fast answer. I will then simply double the
percent character as workaround for now as you suggest.

Aki, I was wondering, does this bug also affect the changing of a cryptokey
password using this command:

$ doveadm mailbox cryptokey password -u email at domain.tld -n NEW%PASSWORD -o
OLD%PASSWORD

Do I need here also to double the '%' char in the -n (new password) and
-o (old password) parameters ?
