well it's not tgz either, it's a html, if you got that down. real file is at
https://github.com/dovecot/tools/raw/refs/heads/main/dovecot-2.4.0-example-config.tar.gz
as told
one can use "file" utility to verify type. or "strings" or "less" (escapes with
"q") to look into offending file, on what it is
tar also has "-t" option instead of "-x", that's to list contents before
extracting. tar can also overwrite items in current directory, so it's best if
you do it in new directory and / or check what file actually contains
unzip has same options
they all also give you options to extract into specified directory too
