Would suggest not following the Debian Lenny stable version (1.0.15), but compiling the current stable Dovecot?
The Debian backports service can update your version to Dovecot 1.2.13, since you are using Lenny/Stable.
The backports service is described here:
Debian Backports
"The website [1] and the mirror moved to http://backports.debian.org/ and the archive is now available below debian-backports/. Even though we expect the old entries to continue to work for a while, you might still want to update your sources.list entry to:
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main contrib non-free (careful with the line-wrap, there, include a <sp> before 'main')
or one of the mirrors[2] that do carry the backports archive."
I'm not sure whether a newer version than 1.2.13 runs on Debian Lenny without other new libraries etc, so we, also, would be interested to hear about later versions installed on Lenny. Especially, if existing mail is unaffected (we use Maildir but comment on any mail storage experience would be valuable).
