Bug Description
Please backport dovecot 1:2.2.27-3ubuntu1 (main) from bionic to artful.
Reason for the backport:
=======
The main reason is fighting Spam. The old 'antispam' plugin is deprecated in favour of a new Sieve feature. But this is not available for dovecot < 2.2.24.
The existing antispam plugin does not work out of the box. And so, fighting spam on privately owned mail servers gets harder and harder. So having this package (and the related ones) backported, would be perfect.
I would be willing to participate in testing. Just let me know.
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s bionic -d artful dovecot
* artful:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] dovecot-pgsql installs cleanly and runs

Sorry, it looks like I used the tool wrong. I need a backport for Ubuntu 16.04 :( I'll try again.
