Hi,

I have few questions regarding mail_crypt:

1) Is mail_crypt_global_private_key file read upon dovecot start/restart only 
or it is/can be read in any other time? I have made few tests by starting 
dovecot and removing master key for decryption - therefore it is not available 
on the platform - it only reside in memory, removing one of attack vectors

2) Is there planned any “rollout” for key rotation in the feature ?

3) is there any better way to encrypt mails that were sent before enabling 
mail_crypt ? I have made some simple script to automate and in-place 
encryption: https://gist.github.com/kolargol/d551d132949068ce6efce7bc85a317cb 
but maybe there is better way? If someone want to use it, please read code 
before as it require updating magic(5) local database

thanks!
