binary packages vs. compiled has nothing to do with the op issue. The problem is an outdated version of the software. Update by whatever means necessary and get on with your day. On Dec 25, 2014, at 7:11 PM, Jeff Mitchell wrote:

We’re using dovecot 1.0.7
that version is total out of date , update to recent version
centos is a precompiled problem :=)
no it is not
do you realy think the RPMS are falling from heaven or is it more likely
be able to use rpmbuild as i do on Fedora for packages like dovecot-2.2.15-3.fc20.20141025.rh.x86_64 or postfix-2.11.3-1.fc20.20141020.rh.x86_64?
your Gentoo is nice in a small environment
on larger setups someone is using binary packages and can setup his own
repo with overrides while maintain *testable* setups
Just to point out, it is possible to set up a binary Gentoo setup with a single server compiling packages then made available to downstream computers -- I ran such a setup for a few years. Can also have multiple of these in an overlay fashion for testing. Pros and cons vs. normal binary distros, but it can be done.
Anyways, regarding the OP's problem, 1.0.7 is only the latest available package from RedHat/CentOS. It's so out of date and so many bugs have been squashed that it makes little sense for anyone to spend much time trying to figure out the problem. Even Red Hat doesn't support it in production anymore.
Might be time to break out the compiler.
