Dovecot can be configured in many different ways. You didn't provide
your Dovecot version (hopefully not v0.99.x), RedHat version or your
configuration (dovecot -n if you've v1.0), so I don't know how exactly
it should be configured.

The easiest way to get it configured would be to make sure that you're
using Dovecot v1.0 and follow "A simple Dovecot installation" guide in
wiki.dovecot.org. Especially the
http://wiki.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration step.
