If this message again appear as new message - my apologies, but then a bit more info on "how to reply on the mailing list" would be appreciated.
The problem with the version number is solved. Solution:
- # rpm -e dovecot
- Remove manually all files and directories called dovecot or something with dovecot in the name
- Download http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.0.7.tar.gz
- # tar -zxvf dovecot-1.0.7.tar.gz
- # ./configure
- # make
- # make install
- yum install -y dovecot
Now I am running 1.0.7.
I placed my dovecot.conf back in /etc.
dovecot -n result:
