 ### Breaking
 
 - **updated base image to Debian 12**
+- changed the default of `DOVECOT_COMMUNITY_REPO` to `0` (disabled) - the Dovecot community repo will (for now) not be the default when building the DMS
 - updated packages: for an overview, [we have a review comment on the PR that introduces Debian 12](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3403#issuecomment-1694563615)
 - Postfix
   - `postscreen_dnsbl_whitelist_threshold` was renamed to `postscreen_dnsbl_allowlist_threshold`: this may affect users that monitor logs affected by this change (<https://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html#respectful_logging>) ([#3403](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/3403))
