Today on 4 servers, every hour I get this notification: Configuration file /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local is invalid: Expire plugin is still present in configuration file! I diffed files: diff -u main.default main.local.broken.1636375895.1Jbd6dZqUTLIQM8a --- main.default 2021-03-11 01:40:54.597082859 +0000 +++ main.local.broken.1636375895.1Jbd6dZqUTLIQM8a 2021-11-08 12:51:35.148828689 +0000 @@ -1144,16 +1144,16 @@ ## passdb { - driver = dict - args = /usr/local/cpanel/etc/dovecot/cpauthd-dict.conf + driver = pam + args = [% IF allow_domainowner_mail_pass %]dovecot_imunify_domainowner[% ELSE %]dovecot_imunify[% END %] result_internalfail = continue result_failure = [% IF allow_domainowner_mail_pass %]continue[% ELSE %]return-fail[% END %] } [% IF allow_domainowner_mail_pass %] passdb { - driver = dict + driver = pam skip = authenticated - args = /usr/local/cpanel/etc/dovecot/cpauthd-dict-domain_owner_mail_pass.conf + args = [% IF allow_domainowner_mail_pass %]dovecot_imunify_domainowner[% ELSE %]dovecot_imunify[% END %] result_internalfail = continue result_failure = return-fail } how to get rid of this warning?

  Hello! Upon investigation, it seems this issue can arise due to a variety of problems. If you are able to, could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature? If you can't, your web hosting provider should be able to. Provide me the ticket ID once done.

  While Imunify360's "Exim+Dovecot brute-force attack protection" is what is causing the alert every hour for the reporter in this thread (when it tries to modify the main.local to enable this feature), I don't think it's actually at fault here. If you simply copy the main.default template to main.local and then run /scripts/builddovecotconf, you'll see the same error. [CODE=bash][root@cpanel dovecot2.3]# pwd /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot2.3 [root@cpanel dovecot2.3]# ls main.default main.default.outdated.2019-03-08T05:32:37Z.25393066 main.default.outdated.2019-07-31T01:53:17Z.03172302 main.default.outdated.2020-02-18T20:10:52Z.90333521 main.default.outdated.2020-10-01T23:04:47Z.09602690 main.default.outdated.2021-03-03T00:07:17Z.68279559 [root@cpanel dovecot2.3]# cp main.default main.local [root@cpanel dovecot2.3]# ls main.default main.default.outdated.2019-03-08T05:32:37Z.25393066 main.default.outdated.2019-07-31T01:53:17Z.03172302 main.default.outdated.2020-02-18T20:10:52Z.90333521 main.default.outdated.2020-10-01T23:04:47Z.09602690 main.default.outdated.2021-03-03T00:07:17Z.68279559 main.local [root@cpanel dovecot2.3]# /scripts/builddovecotconf info [builddovecotconf] 'local' template in use (/var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local) info [builddovecotconf] Configuration file /var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local is invalid: Expire plugin is still present in configuration file! info [builddovecotconf] 'local' template in use (/var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local) The local template file '/var/cpanel/templates/dovecot/main.local' is invalid.

  If you diff those two files, they are identical (as they should be).

  @Rectifier I can't seem to replicate this issue. Would you be able to open a ticket with the link in my signature so we can test the issue in your server's environment?

  The ticket is resolved now. The main.default template was not updated during the update to cPanel 100. Support replaced the default template with one from source and the builddovecotconf script working fine for me now. Imunify360's "Exim+Dovecot brute-force attack protection" is now also able to be turned on without triggering that alert every hour.
