Cannot speak to the "why" question - perhaps Carl will respond "why" it is still in testing. That said, 2.4.1 has been in testing quite a while and you can trivially install it (and the new pigeonhole partner package) from there. It has about a dozen "sign offs", suggesting quite a few are using it. I have been using it and has been running perfectly fine since it was pushed to testing. It does require manual intervention that is a bit non-trivial - but straightforward enough to do, following the update guide. Guide is here: https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html Additionally, there are 1 or 2 quirks still with 2.3.1 (e.g. environment variables don't work "everywhere" - for example certificate path must be exaplicit). Minor for sure. 2.4.2 (not yet released) will address all the current known quirks from what I see. gene -- Gene
