dovecot: Jul 25 00:55:41 Info: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up
If it's logging this, it means you have v1.0 binaries around. If rpm -
e dovecot didn't remove it, something else will. I can't really help
you there.
Anyway most likely the problem is that you have Dovecot v1.0 installed
to /usr prefix (e.g. you have /usr/sbin/dovecot and /usr/lib/dovecot/)
but v1.2 was installed to /usr/local prefix (e.g. /usr/local/sbin/
dovecot). And I guess you're starting Dovecot with /etc/init.d/
dovecot, which uses the /usr/sbin/dovecot instead of /usr/local/sbin/
dovecot..
Maybe it's easiest if you just do make uninstall in v1.2 source dir,
and then install v1.2.1 rpm from http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/
