Dovecot Update

[floyd]

I updated dovecot through custom build. Soon after my users started complaining of this error:

Authentication error.
Server returned error "[AUTH] Cleartext authentication disallowed on non-secure
(SSL/TLS) connections."

I figured out how to solve the problem. https://docs.directadmin.com/other-hosting-services/dovecot/customizing-dovecot.html

However I think there should be some kind of warning before making such a major change. In fact it should not make that change at all. If I want to make that kind of change then I will do it.

It's a Dovecot version change, not a DA change. Also some other things were changed in the new Dovecot version. And it was announced in the release. You always have the choice to either update or not.
