Re: Regression/Bug report: crypt_private_key_file (for crypt_global_private_key) no longer supports inline base64 (from userdb) in dev branch

It's not very clear from your mails what configuration doesn't work. I see you've mainly listed configuration for workarounds that do work, or workarounds that do not work. Since we have a passing CI test for the functionality you're apparently trying, I'm not sure what is going on with your config that is different. Please send the whole doveconf -n and the returned values from your userdb. Privately is fine too.
