[Dovecot] How Can I Tell How Dovecot Was Installed?

[Blake Carver]

Thanks Rod,

So I guess my big question here is, how do I upgrade this sucker?
I'd love to just use an RPM, but if this was originally installed via
source will I mess it up?
When I do rpm -qa | grep dovecot I get dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5
BUT
dovecot --version shows me a different #

So --version shows just one version, 1.0.3 (pretty damn old)

 'which dovecot' just gives me /usr/local/sbin/dovecot

Taking a look at /etc/init.d/dovecot shows me it's staring Dovecot
using /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
and
ps auxw | grep dovecot does show that's the one that's running
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
