then you possible are fine with zen3 or zen4 with dont have this bugs to be solved in ucode

does it say epyc in uname -a ? :)
there exists zenbleed tarball that have tools to test if something is missing in ucode, i dont know if the ucode is part of kernel, but imho only 6.4.6 have zenbleed fix, not currently older kernels
i still don't have any epyc cpu, so i am happy :=)

gopher is not well designed for roundcube webmail, lol :)
i dont know if there exists webmail based on gopher protocol, i will let it be upto the reader to find why it does not work
sadly dovecot have planed to support jmap, but so far only cyrus-imapd have it, on the other hand cyrus-imapd miss support for weakforced, it complicated for secureity, i could just make reject rules in iptables change to accept for a limited ip ranges where i have users, it would be rock solid, firewalls should be static rule set, not dynamic, and this is why i think fail2ban is designed for the incorrect problem
