Hi, we had access to the repository and it was working fine. But as we cant get the 2.2.25 update I was looking into the repofolders and there are RPMs "just" for RHEL 6// but not 5 any more.
My be I missed the latest discussions or announcements? Could you give me an update on information and may be the RHEL 5 RPMs too?
Thanks a lot and regards . Götz
Dovecot EE build support for RHEL 5 / CentOS 5 is going away soon even if we still made one more build for CentOS 5. Please upgrade your system.

Not only because of dovecot
[21:09:27 CEST] <centbot> CentOS 5 will go EOL on 31 March, 2017 -- in 35 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 50 minutes, and 47 seconds but be aware that it is now in production phase 3 and only receives critical updates
Alexander Thx for your both feedback, and yes, it is EOL but as you mentioned in 35+ weeks. O.K. Redhat never did a dovecot update to the current version and as a lot of customers we think the update policy for some software should be changed too to support more modern versions of "core" server services. But that's not a dovecot topic ;)
That dovecot offers still EE build for free is great, but a road map on what the future subscription plans are would be nice; e.g low cost fee for just the repos, higher fees for support etc. That's what I missed.
