userdb_mail_crypt_private_password: unknown variable after upgrading Dovecot
<html><head></head><body><div
style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hello
there,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>today I upgrade dovecot to version 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b).</div>
<div>I'm running the mailcrypt plugin to encrypt my
mailbox.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As referenced here (<a
href="https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-September/116974.html">https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-September/116974.html</a>),
I've added
"userdb_mail_crypt_private_password=%{pkcs5,salt=%u,format=base64:password}"
to my passdb file in order to not save the mailcrypt password in
plaintext.</div>
<div>After I sucessfully upgraded dovecot, I can no longer login to my
dovecot server.</div>
<div>The error says</div>
<div>"auth: Error: passwd-file(<email>): Failed to expand extra
field
userdb_mail_crypt_private_password=%{pkcs5,salt=%u,format=base64:password}:
Unknown variable '%pkcs5,salt=%u,format=base64'"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I re-checked all the config files, but the configuration has not been
altered after the upgrade.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What could cause this error and how can I fix
it?</div></div></body></html>
