I just realized that the service can’t actually do any mounting, because it doesn’t have the required capability (not part of the CapabilityBoundingSet), so not including it in the SystemCallFilter only means that the process will get an error delivered instead of instantly dying with an uncatchable SIGSYS.
Now, since we have MountFlags=slave, I actually would be fine with even permitting the service to mount stuff within its mount namespace, but unfortunately the mount syscalls are under CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which is way too broad to grant the service :(

Usage: drop it in
/etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/,systemctl daemon-reload,systemctl restart dovecot. Then checksystemctl status dovecotand see if there are any error messages – if yes, our systems differ by a bit, and you’ll need to tweak the sandbox. (For instance, your setup might use a different path than/var/spool/postfixfor communication sockets.)
