There's really no feature I *need* from 3.10. I am preparing to upgrade 
to trixie, and since the dovecot version there has lots of breaking 
changes, I though that, to avoid surprises, I'd upgrade the packages 
I see as most important to the latest available version in bookworm, one 
at the time, so that I don't have to fix my configs all at once.

I'm happy to see that with postfix no change from my side was really 
needed :)
But now I've upgraded to 3.10.3-2~bpo12+1, and since I don't know for 
how long I'll be staying on bookworm I just wanted to make sure I had 
a version of the 3.10 branch with the most *fixes* possible.

Thanks for that!

Yep, it really wasn't. But since a backport was already available, 
I just installed it.

It's already mentioned in the previous changelog entry for 
bookworm-backports, and as it isn't a change since backports (which 
already had that change) I haven't included so not to have repetitions. 
Maybe I could add "keeping tlsrprt disabled"?

Bye :)
