Hi,

I updated to Alpine 3.23 and noticed that after the update, Dovecot fails =
to start, with the output:

```
doveconf: Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/doveconf.) failed: Permission denied
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: Fa=
iled to write binary config file
```

I am able to run `mktemp` as both a normal user and as root just fine. Out=
put of `ls -ld /tmp`:

```
drwxrwxrwt    4 root     root            80 Dec  4 12:54 /tmp
```

Is anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks!
