No, on RHEL4 (and therefore CentOS4 as well) inotify has been
disabled. Although I didn't document the reason good enough, so maybe
it is worth while checking if a rebuild would be OK (simply rebuilding
the package will enable inotify). Would you like to test it and report
back?

As for a 2.4 kernel on RHEL4 & clones: The kernel will not provide the
neccessary inotify functions, but I hope dovecot will just notice that
and not fail on it (e.g. just disable inotify support). But I haven't
tested that combo.
