Hi Rob,

please don't top-post. On mailinglists it is custom, to write replies
below the previous post.

I don't use Fedora/CentOS/RH, so I don't really know, but in Debian*
there is the LDAP part in a separate package. Maybe it is so in your
case too.....

I just looked at
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/dovecot/contents and it seems
its all in 1 package, and you'll just have to copy it from
/usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/ to /etc/dovecot.

Greetings
Daniel
