Alen I got this error.

 

[root@mail SPECS]# rpmbuild -bb dovecot.spec | more
error: line 7: Illegal char '-' in version: Version: 1.0-stable
 

If I remove the "-" and change it to a "_" then the build fails somewhere else.

I would recomend you recompile it yourself. Since all RPM's for RHES 3
are old stable releases.

You will find them rpmfind.net (just type in dovecot).

If you want to make RPM yourself it is very simple.

- Get latest .tgz
- Unpack it somewhere and get file dovecot.spec
- Move dovecot.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
- Move .tgz file to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
- Go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and type rpmbuild -bb dovecot.spec
- You will find compiled .RPM (if no errors occured) in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
