Subject: Dovecot 2.3 on CentOS 7.

Greetings!

I'm having a bit of trouble trying out Dovecot 2.3 on CentOS 7.

Dovecot 2.2.33 works fine on the same system (same config as well, minus
the SSL changes) but after upgrading to 2.3 I'm getting the following
errors:

Feb  1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot:

So far I've tried running it with SELinux enforce off and giving the
directories 777 permissions to no avail.

Is anyone else running 2.3 on CentOS 7?

Thanks and good luck!
