Atrpms is the most up to date version I have found so far, and it looks like it is recently up to 1.1.11. They also have the 1.0 branch if you need it. I usually leave it disabled and only enable it with the "yum --enablerepo=atrpms update dovecot" command when I want to update dovecot. It seems a little too "cutting edge" for my tastes on a server. Others are OK with it being enabled, so YMMV.
If you only want to pull dovecot from atrpms, add a includepkgs option to the repo definition[1] and leave it enabled. You'll see dovecot updates just like any other package without having to use the whole repo:
