36f437b9ca Change mtail service to read /dev/stdin instead of "-"
The shell alias "-" should work for stdin, but on one of my servers it
was not working and stracing the process showed it kept trying to open a
file named /-. I do not know how or why this was the case, but altering
it to read /dev/stdin instead solved the issue.

3abba6f2fa dovecot.conf: fix the stats syntax
The ! character in != is an invalid token in Dovecot's unified filter
language (2.3.12+). The parser expected a comparison operator (=, >, <)
and choked on !.

be7aa21039 feat(dovecot): add config flag to export statistics (#806)
This adds exporting of some dovecot event metrics to help debugging slow IMAP login and hibernation. For now, re-using mtail_address config flag and configure the port of the dovecot exporter to be 3904.

203a7da3f4 Strip DKIM-Signature header before LMTP
Currently we strip the DKIM-Signature header in the OpenDKIM final.lua
script after validation of the signature. We sign all messages upon
submission, but we do not verify messages which are from a local account
and delivered to another local account.

This corrects the problem and ensures that the plaintext headers of a
local to local delivery are sanitized the same as a message received
from another server.

The functionality in final.lua to strip the DKIM-Signature header can
now be retired.
