Any hints/comment appreciated ;-)
Don't use Dovecot 2.0.4, even if your distro tries to tempt you into doing so by including such a version.
Whilst it looks like a stable version number, there were a number of issues with early Dovecot 2.0.x.
Instead use 2.0.latest.
Are there relevant difference between 2.0.4 and 2.0.16 config?
Starting from http://www.dovecot.org/download.html you could find
http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el6/dovecot/
which provides 32- and 64-bit RPMs of Dovecot 2.0.16.
Started upgrading old box.
backup data and conf, downloaded old rpm for emergengy
rpm -Uvh dovecot-2.0.16-1_132.el4.i386.rpm
changed some config settings so I can start the daemon ...
seems to work. ;-)
There is a way to test it intensively before users do it for me? ;-)
Happy new year to all ;-)
Thanks, P.
